I don't believe the Eggert Electronics board will work as a CNC
controller because of the command for loading the speed divisor
must be an integer. Works ok if you wish to move X 10" and Y 5"
by sending a speed divisor of 2 to the Y axis. However if you wish
to move X 10" and Y 3" you would need to send a divisor of 3.333
to the Y axis which isn't an option. Also it's unipolar :(
