Re: Smart Motor hopes dashed

yeah, well it still does sound good, but unless any one of you guys
can afford that kind of cost for a motor, or unless that money falls
on my head, it will be a pipe dream for me afterall... hey, doing cnc
isn't a necessity of life, so i'm not really going to cry over
something i never had, but it sure would have been a really good way
to get a nearly perfect cnc option with only motor, built in
electronics, and just VNC software to run it... that's it...

so if any of you are brave or rich enough to buy a system like this,
then this is the one i would recommend... but i'm gonna start parting
out my stuff... now i have to endure which drivers/motors/controllers
i will have to select to get my job done... this will be time
consuming to measure, but i really have no choice now...
