RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] HPGL controller

Hi Erie -

Well, if you're looking for headless, isn't there something that
could be done with Mariss' new G2002? I'm sure there would be
software to write, but it seems there's a lot of people working on
it. Also, it's USB, not serial.

Regards,

Carlos,
unfortunately, not totally headless,and won't accept a serial
input.
What I ideally want to do is load DOS and a DOS based package on a
flashdisk and boot into the software, no k/b, no monitor, just an
e-stop
and a serial in. Looks like I'm probably going to have to go the
PIC
route. Just hate having to reinvent the wheel.
