RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Raspberry Pi for CADCAM CNC?

How about the Electronic Lead Screw -- Google it or go here:

<u only gripe is that you are locked into that configuration where with a
computer running MACH or LinuxCNC, you can change your configuration as
needed.

That being said, if you are doing a single-task machine with no intention of
changing it, this would be a viable option.
