Hi Afogassa,
It certainly would be, Sherline and Tony for example
have single axis controllers for running rotary tables.
So as a further development along these lines, one
could run 3 axis as well. Bear in mind that linear or
circular interpolation require a little more floating
point processing, which is costly for a PIC. Also, the
part program store probably wouldn't be too large. But
yes, certainly one could do it. As a note, there are
already 3 axis controllers in PIC's, running generally
as "black boxes". So an extension to that thought
might have one PIC as the UI, and another as a "black
box".
Do you have a specific project in mind?
