there has been much water under the bridge since the last update   a lot of out of town work and a divorce and all the aftermath of that anyway it is time to get back on this project will be asking questions and posting more pictures of where it is today I have pieced together the powersupply and mouted circuit cards re routed the cables from the servos and encoders. i have big plans for this machine and mach3.

SmoothStepper USB / Re: Minimum pc specs with Smooth stepper.

Oh maybe worth saying was the laptop has W2K on it, XP would need a bit more memory I would think.
 As for small PCs, I use the Via Pico on my lathe and mill, its (or was, not sure if it still is) the smallest mobo you could buy, it measures 100mm x 72mm and is not much bigger than the smoothstepper itself. Its a 1Gig embedded CPU and I have 1 Gig memory on them. Below is a pic of the one in the mills cabinet, arrow pointing to mobo and SS.

hood could you please describe the components that are in the picture and why you used them i am just really curious as there seems to be a lot of stuff there what appears to be a power supply seems to be bigger than everything else.
Thanks
