Post by: Venan on September 19, 2014, 05:05:14 PM

   Hi gys!
It is possible to use two 3 axis usb controlles like this one:

to build a 6 axis CNC machine?

Thank you in advance!

No, but you can use two parallel ports, or a Smoothstepper.

After the smootstepper (on port 1-3) what i have to connect - two 3 axis controllers or directly the step drivers?
