Re: Digest Number 237

If you are looking for a way to interface EMC or any other step and direction
output software to your amps, I have circuit that might help to do this without
the need for the Servotogo card. although the Servotogo card is a more powerful
solution than the circuit I am referring to, it is quite a bit more expensive.
I bought a pentium 100 for $85 at boeing surplus and Dan Mauch from
Camtronics, loaded linux and EMC on it for me and it was making my motors
turn in no time at all.
