Ok,
Yesterday, I finished building a PC to run this thing.
CPU P4 3.2 Ghz HT
MEM 2 GB PC 4200 Kingston
HDD 40 GB SATA
GPU 256 MB NVidia 8400 GS
LCD ELO 15 " Touchscreen (Resistive Type)
OS XP Pro 32 bit
Today, I have just ordered a PMDX122 BOB and 3 203V's. I am going to use the original Steppers and spindle for now, just so I can play around with functions in Mach3; wiring, tuning, and moving. While I am waiting for the parts I am currently going to start building a power supply or I might buy one if feasible, Any Suggestions?
The reason I picked the PMDX122 and 203V's is:
Most of you are using that board for the bridgeport boss and it seems to be adequete and reliable.
The 203v's I got just because I liked the protection that was on them, I am a noob
I do have a Question though as far as some of you are using the smoothestepper with the PMDX122, what is the advantage I am confused. Some say they could not get it to work with their system and some say it works great. Why do some incoporate it?
Thanks Joe
