I was watching you orignal thread with interest.
I've jsut come out of the other end of a Boxford VMC190 conversion to Linuxcnc
I would be interested in the pair of boards that have the drivers on them, two or three block things about 2" x 3"
You will be using more modern drivers I assume.
I kept the Lenze speed controller, but my isolation board on the end of the lenze was toast, so I had to wire the lenze into the control board. This is not that straigth forward as the lenze 0v to 10v (for spinlde speed control) floats at 110v to 122v
I found a step/dir to 0v to 10v board with on/off relay and its all working a treat now
I converted an ORAC Lathe to LinuxCNC about a year ago and its been great, It threads a treat which was something I could never get my boxford BUD running Mach3 do. IT all done on the cheap with a PC mother board parallel port and an additional port card
The VMC is also using a single parallel port card that provides two parallel port connections
In LinuxCNC set the first one up as OUT and the second as IN and you have more than enough inputs.
Both machines have a control panel with real buttons
Cheers,
Paul
