Hi B,
Good to hear you are returning to the world of CNC - there have certainly been a lot of advancements and new technology introduced over the last 10 years so you may have some catching-up to do.
Art is still most active with his own designs but he is stretched in all directions.
Unfortunately ‘Auggie’ has never really been fully developed but it is a great platform for experimentation – together with the 57CNC motion controller I have found that it is excellent for laser control.
His spin-off CAD ‘Vexx’ has just had the addition of design and drawing for Cyclic Reducers and I am currently (as time permits) having great fun making and testing various versions and reduction ratio’s etc.
And, of course, Art’s ‘Gearotic Motion’ is just brilliant for gear, sprocket, pulley, etc design and production.
There is an active forum covering all of Art’s work and projects;

http://gearotic.com/I now have 5 different external motion controllers which I can use with Mach4 and each has it’s own merits but overall the UC400ETH from CNC Drive is currently getting the most use but unfortunately not with Mach4.
Tweakie.
