Now you tell me......:heehee:
I've decided to roll my own, with the help of Tribbles of course. 4amp, idle current reduction and full power on half step but no micro stepping.
If it dosnt work out then £30-40 an axis sounds great

Joe,
Truthfully can't answer this question at this time.
Using laptop with parallel port is a no no but the USB card 'should' be OK.
So far although we have two cards neither has been tested because I'm in the process of converting a manual mill to CNC and it will be used on this, probably about 2 weeks away from testing given this has to fit in with my regular work.
It will be tested on a Dell to start as the 'test bench ' is so equipped but I'm also interested in seeing if the laptop will run it OKJohn S -

Still 2 weeks away <g>
Problem is my day job is emergency repairs and I never know what comes thru the door to upset planned jobs.
Starting to wire the box up Friday, fingers crossed and then sort the machine out.
machine is all converted mechanically, just need covers and bellows re fitting.John S -
