Re: USB CNC (was Interface. Gauging interest.)

This topic has a life of its own.

May I be so bold as to ask that someone start a new group for this
topic.

I am an end user type - a kit builder, not electronics designer. I
would love to see a sort of open source design come togather from all
your great ideas.

As stated in a prior post PCI card options exist, but start around $550
for the Basic I/O PCI card. In addition you will need a breakout board
with powersupply and have to design the rest of the system, and
drivers/software if the hardware you choose is not supported by your G-
code interpreter of choice.

A simple 4 (5?)axis USB interface that can also monitor limits and E-
stop would be a great boon to this hobby. (4+ spindle control outputs)

Thanks to all.
