Arturo Duncan from cnc4pc.com send me some boards to test. So I will not be using the PMDX that I had on the shelf... I have a CNC punch press that I think it will go on
. The Board from CNC4PC ( C11 - Multifunction CNC Board ) is making it so i will not need a PLC! The board has all the stuff to do 0-10V! On a machine this size I need all the room I can get! He also sent along the C3 - Index Pulse Card that will be used to read the spindle index pulse... after I have all that tested and running I will be adding an other parallel port for the two MPG's
The geckodrives are in and I was talked out of using the old motors (thanks Art!) So I got new motors from AutomationDirect.com , it is 39.00 for a motor and 9.00 for a 20 foot cable! That is a very good deal because I didn't want to add wire to the motor cable...
Well I am off to start working on the little lathe
