Initial design advise wanted

[Clive S]

I think for now my initial PC setup would look like this for now.

- Dedicated networked windows 7 PC.
- Mach 3/4 through PP.
Q 64Bit or 32Bit?
Q PCI or mainboard PP`s?
Q PCI PP, what to look for when buying one.
Q Any Minimum video card requirements?
Q Maximum length PP cable to BOB.

Bert From what I understand is that the pp does not work with win7 64bit.
For the system you are building you need a motion controller not via the pp. there are various ways of doing this.

Plus one with Neil on the power supplies. use 24V for the estop, limits etc .

Have you decided on whether to run one nema 34 with a belt between the two motors or 2 nema 23 and slaving them there are cons and pro between the two systems I use slaved I think Neil uses one motor.
