    Hi Clive,
    Two db25 boards. Interesting! I guess I would need another parallel port card in the PC. I have one of the green cards like this and a blue one as second link so enough between these two.

    Potentially a bit of a head scratcher though eh. Is the software side straightforward, assigning ports and pins etc?

    ....Update

    Just thinking about it I could use the one of the BOB to run the 3 axis and the slave and the other BOB to run the B/A axis and secondary sensors.

    I'm not that familiar with parallel port/db25 instruction. Can I daisy chain the two boards together or do I need to run a separate card to the second BOB?

    Much food for thought
