Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] I am learning but still so lost.

Charlie,

I'm on the left coast about an hour north of San Francisco so a visit is out. I imagine that the original Chinese control board would work with LinuxCNC. It would be a matter of figuring out which pin does what. There are probably step and direction pins for each axis, maybe spindle control and home/limit switches. What's the URL of the youtube video you found?

Going to a usb controller like a SmoothStepper would probably mean you would have to use Mach3/4 instead of LinuxCNC.
