Re: Thanks Mariss/Where are you!

Hi,

This is the result of the "black box" thread several months ago. It
uses the step pulse generator circuit I posted then. This circuit
needed a FIFO buffer if it were used with WinXX, so a microcomputer
core was need.

It occured to me later that the motion algorithms were rather simple
so why not include them as well in the microcomputer. This way the
interface can now be a low-bandwith RS-232 one using ASCII character
strings. G-Codes seemed to be the way to go since it is a protocol
enjoying wide usage.

What if anything it will replace, I don't know. I do know it is fun
and exciting to work on, it will take a long time and it will lead
somewhere.
