Re: Motion Control Chip - 4 axis stepper

James, Alan,

Looking at the site, there is another chip in this same series, 164
pins! that DOES include interpolation. This one does not. This one
seems better suited to manufacturing transport, etc. than "cutting"
motion control. The other one seems a bit like Mariss' planned b-
box...(some familiar numbers in the specs)

Hope this helps.

CNC - it should take care of some of the housekeeping.
