Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Servos and Controller boards

Hi all,

sorry if this is stupid question but can you build your own servo
controllers?, i mean is a there a circuit that can be home built.
I have a stepper motor system and am more than happy with it but have been
given several small-ish servos and it would be a shame not to use them, they
have shaft encoders already on them.

Thanks

Nick
