PC with design software and then postprocessor (mach 3).
A controller is then connected to parallel port. Is the controller also the power supply for the motors?
I would like to buy what's required even before I start the build so that I can setup the motors and get them spinning asap.
Having purchased the MDF, I will hopefully start a build log soon.
And does the controller also manage the limit switches too?
Skittles, have have you looked into this yet?
