Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: tach output

Yes,

Get the Mauch/Kulaga DRO board that Dan at Camtronics sells. About $80 for
the unit to handle 4 axes. Now put 2 of them in the computer and set to
different addresses. Then modify the code that is available to hande the
dual addresses and multiple axes. The code modification will basically be
cut and paste.
