RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re, Controllers

I have the mill essentially set up. So I guess what I need are the following:

o power supply to supply the 4 Geckos
o 4 Geckos
o 4 servo motors
o 4 encoders
o Drawing software
o some kind of card to insert into the motherboard on my PC
o software to run the card inserted in the motherboard

Am I missing anything ?

Questions:

o Who has the cards that get inserted into the motherboard, that work with
the programs that are out there ?
o Of the programs out there for running on the PC that is controlling
everything, do they work with any of these controller boards ?

Mike

the specs on Gecko and would be please if someone on the list would provide
from sofware to hardware on it. I'm also on a tight budget and if the cost
would be under five hundreds dollar would be a plus.
