That's correct Dave. You can go either way. DeskCNC is a very good
CAM all by itself at $300, it has customizable posts and outputs
commented, multiple tool G-code programs. For the price no other
milling/routing program has the features, capability, and support.
Adding the $50 controller board provides you with a single solution
to the CAM and Controller application.

The output from the DeskCNC controller board is Step and Direction.
If your Rutex drivers use this method for control, they should work
great with the DeskCNC controller board.
