Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Can my CNC controller blow my motherboard?

any clue what freq your driver board and parallel is talking aat?.......I
have and can design a device consisting of a atmel chip and or maxim chip
that talks and converts the freq that it talks to the driver board ( i
suspect thats whats the problem ) I agree the mother board shouldnt die like
that...........test it on a differnt mobo perhaps a old 386 486?
