Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: EMC and Taig w/ MicroProto

Hi Eric,

Does your Taig controller, MPS2000? require phase drive signals or step/dir
signals.

AFAIK all the early ones were phase drive.

If you need an upgrade board to convert it to Step/Dir have a look at the
TurboTaig board.

Cheers,

Peter.
