Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Motion control board

Jon,

Could you explain to me how the parallel port "tells" your step rate
generator board to generate steps. Is it a "smart" board and you send
it a command to move 10,000 steps at a certain acceleration and
speed. If so could you expand on the commands required to do that.

Thanks

Bill
