Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] pic+lcd+stepper

Hi,

A PIC is more than capable of doing what you want except that they are not
large on memory. How would you input the data for machine movement? Via a
keypad would be slow but practical, via a serial connection from another
computer, possible with the serial-in.

I have done some work in this area with a pendant running three axis and
driving steppers, but got side-tracked with the DRO I'm currently working
on. It is something I'll be going back to in the future.

Regards,

Terry
