Step/direction to analogue converter

[Agathon]

Have you looked into using a controller which is intended for analogue servos? E.g. googling Mesa 7133, Kanalog, CSMIO IP-A should get you started... there may be other options too, been a while since I looked...

Thanks for the reply. Now I'm beginning to understand what a motion controller does, I'm feeling more inclined to invest in something like KFLOP/Kanalog combo. The Mesa product line is bewildering - I remember looking at their website when I was thinking about LCNC, but decided that it required a technical understanding I just don't have.

On the other hand their stuff is attractively priced. The 7I33 supports 4 axes and appears to be only 69 or 79 dollars. However, I don't understand what else I'd need to go with it - they mention something about "Anything I/O" cards. I'd need someone to hold my hand with putting together the required kit.
