Nice mod I've recovered a start/stop, emergency stop box to use with my machine I'll fit the pot into that box I think as it's as close to a control box as I will have lol.

For now the machine is only going to be driven by an Arduino but when it's actually working and usable I'm going to buy some 1/2 decent stepper drivers and a breakout board and use either mach 3 or EMC2.

I've been a linux user for almost 10 years so EMC2 makes a lot of sense to me but I do have windows if needed. (Had to keep it for cad)
