I have a big mill with a Bandit CNC controller. Currently basically functional. Does linear moves fine. I can't seem to figure out circular interpolation, but the important part is that the drives/motors do work.
I have a Galil 1830 controller and breakout board. I'm trying to decide if I should interface to the Bandit amps (step/direction) (I do have schematics), or yank them as well and replace with Dugong/Viper 200/Something.
My current inclination is to keep the Bandit PS, and amps and interface the Galil, and if I don't like it at some later date upgrade to the Dugong.
Any advice?
Thanks
