Re: EMC linux + CNC mill + CNC Lathe
Thanks guys!
Regarding Linux - I have no problem running linux, I am very fmilier with it and have been running it as my main OS for several years now.
Regarding the software - I am not particulerlay concerned with the software itself, but more with the interface between the software and the hardware.
Is this LPT1 connection a standard thing, or will I have to modify the signal? will it just involve finding the right pinout?
if so, how do i find that pinout?
How are stepper boards controlled? is it a standard way, or will each board have it's own special way of communicating with the computer?
Thanks for helping me out!
