Re: Installing rotary encoders

Don't know about Bobcad, but I am using Vector to generate g-code for use in
EMC. I have been very pleased with what Vector offers and as I get use to
what EMC wants in the way of g-code I am having no problem getting Vector to
produce a code that will work. go to http://www.imsrv.com/ (the US
distributor) and check it out. You can also get some more info at
http://www.centriforce.net/ (the developer).
