Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] interpolation and algorithms of multiple axes was Re: Pulse Gen

Hi Marris,

Maybe I missed something but what would the input to these boards be? Would
they just form an interface between standard CAM programs like EMC and MAXnc
and the motor drivers or would they need specially altered programs and
would they work with steppers?
