Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: PWM vs Constant current and G-rex

Thanks for the reply Ron, I'm wondering what parrallel driven breakout board
are you using? Good/bad experiances?? Advice? I'm concerned about
purchasing a system that needs to be used on a yet to be released software
verson thats for sure. I'm also thinking that there is a wealth of
experiance that could be tapped for use of a parrallel drive board.
