I have a PC model that I am planning on doing the same to, I am going to use
Gecko 320's and servos. The reason I am going this route is that I will able
do a little replugging on the back side, and run my mill when needed. Also
the system will have both, step and direction, and servo outputs available
for future use, on other machines/projects. The one issue not solved yet is
threading.........
look in the files and Faq sections, there are several things that should be
helpful also.
