CNCPro and the machine. It has four step/direction channels, four aux
outputs and five inputs for E-stop and limits.

have not yet fully tested the functionality. This is why I have been
hesitant to announce them. Two known minor bugs exist in these boards.
They are pin misplacements and can be corrected without much trouble.

additional changes (and further testing) are necessary before ordering a big
run of production boards. Unfortunately, the profitable end of my business
keeps me from spending the time needed to complete this work. Jon has also
done more than his share.

(including actual development expenses), as was agreed. The six boards I
have now are available if someone is willing to bend a few leads or drill
some holes and run patch traces. If they prove to have intolerable problems
I'll exchange them for new ones when they are finished.

cheap Gerber file translator I would like to hear from you.
