Control / Driver replacements

[Chaz]

First question, to drive what, steppers or servos?

Once you know then, what budget and what control system?

That will help answer the question.

I have a Boxford Midimill which was converted to run Mach3.
As for the budget around £200.

Im just about to do an upgrade on my CNC Lathe to a more expensive Centroid system.

I'll have my setup for sale if you are interested.

Its a Pokeys 57U board + Expansion board. It runs off USB, so need for serial etc, let me know if interested.

If you have an existing parallel port etc, you can just get a cheap BOB on ebay for under £10. Do you have any pics of the bit that has failed?

[pmcb1011]

I have PM you.

Are you looking for something ready built and just needing steppers/computer connected, or individual parts to build a control box?

Not too worried if I have to build up myself, as long as it's reliable.
