Stepper drivers and breakout board

[Desertboy]

If you use linuxcnc or Mach3 you won't need the arduino

Hi yeah I know it needs a pc with a parallel port (Or Ethernet with correct controller), I mean I need to wait a month to afford the drivers if I buy 4 new ones so until I get them which will be 6 weeks I guess so I'll to use the arduino Uno and cncshield when It's assembled. I'm hoping we will be seeing movement in the next week or so. Might as well play with it and make some simple stuff whilst waiting for the better electronics.

When I get the AM882's going to cram them into my mini tower case with my old motherboard will be loads of room not actually tried it but the power supplies look like they were made to fit into the drive cadle. If I wanted to be snazzy I could solder the parallel ports pins internally to a connector to keep everything internal but not going to happen ha ha ha.
