mind was somehow converting the quad signal from the encoders to a
step / direction signal ( using a switch to select either manual or
cnc control ). Maybe there is a simple circuit to do this. This way
the computer doesn't have to be switched on. Any information anyone
can send me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Glen.
