New build with recycled parts on a ridiculous budget 120cm*60cm work area

Another thing that needs charging is not always good either.. If I order myself something like this it will have a cable :)
But I think I will try xbox 60 or psu controller first.. have those laying about!
Wife and kids will be away week 11 so I'm hoping, dreaming and drooling about the oppertunity to maybe get time to see some movement from my roaring router :D

Are you using Mach 3?

A disadvantage of the HB04 controller is it works in user space in Linuxcnc (Or windows) so if the PC crashes you lose control I believe if I have an MPG interfaced to the Mesa board I would still have control after a crash. Won't affect my stop button which I'm wiring so when pressed it knocks out the toroidal transformer and spindle as well as firing a software estop.

That way if the pc has crashed I still lose power to the steppers and spindle.

I need to make the cable to talk to the AM882's I did make one but lost it, I want to set the stall protect to NC.

I found it £10 cheaper from China not going to cry too much lol

but £50 is even more tempting
