As I see it, the PC will do the math, and send the data to the hardware, which will then control the motors.

No it will still be busy doing the math and keeping track of the external hardware's progress...

No details yet, I have a few ideas about the whole handshaking and data transfer operation... The is also confusion about
stepper and servo...
Some people are wanting a "do it all" device. Myself I just want to control steppers.
