The Cubloc has Modbus.
So I just use the standard Modbus support in Mach.
Yes £100 is pretty good considering what you get. There are smaller CUSB devices, and also the CB405 boards which give even more IO.

For the 405 Baseboard. Processor not included unlike the CUSB devices.

Have a PLC for the new mill already so not needing one but definitely worth thinking about for any future retrofits.

Here's a pic of the Smoothstepper and diycnc.co.uk breakout board mounted in a DIN rail adapter.

Looks good, you just have plastic spacers keeping the SS off the Alu?

Not plastic. The SS is stood off 5mm on pukka standoffs. Then 25mm standoffs to separate the 2nd plate.
One of the mounting holes on the SS can be set to GND, and this I have done.

Hi Wayne,
May I ask what pukka is?
EDIT: (forgot to say) very nice work!
Thanks,

Dave
The language barriers hit again!
I googled it to find out where it came from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pukka_sahib
I meant it as "real" or "proper" standoff for example.

Will get around to the Z axis in about an hour.
But here's a Pic update. The Cabinet Door is now getting a little busy, but not much more to do there.
