No, I went with smoothstepper instead. I got the file off of ebay when someone here posted the link.
I couldn't find it on ebay today, maybe de-listed?
the other files are an dll, a script for probing and a readme file
I was thinking of using one for a future build, but I think I will wait for some feedback first

Oh well lets hope the Uni is brave enough to try it as it would be good to see how well it works. Shame the frequency is just 200KHz though.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for posting the file, most interesting.
I did laugh a couple of times but their diagrammatic representations (assuming them to be correct) are extremely good and leave little doubt as to how stuff is connected. I wonder how well the board actually works though.

Thanks Richard, can you please also post the other files?
I don't know what you guys are complaining about, that is a very comprehensive manual, if you can read Chinese....
I looked through the manual and found the name Xulifeng, a google search yielded a site, can't see the relevance though, but did find something interesting on there.....
http://www.xulifeng.com/cp.asp?sort=9&id=9#
Makes me think I should think more outside of the box.... would have had 1000's of patents by now....
Another search did give some interesting results:
http://www.usinages.com/download.php?id=65828
The links gives you an english manual.
While I'm typing this I'm also checking in the two manuals that I just downloaded. Damn! This english manual makes me want to buy it! The cncdiy.org website which the document refers to sells the board for about $40 cheaper than the first link I posted but think the other is more reliable... The site also offers a circuit diagram for the board! Not something I've seen for other boards! The site also has a youtube vid showing that the board works (aka lights flashing and steppers moving...)
I thought I should check out what the link I got the other manual from was all about (
http://www.usinages.com/portal.php
) looks like some French? CNC site. Parlez-vous Français ?
PS. I also found this yesterday:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-3-axis-CNC-USB-Card-Mach3-windows2000-xp-vista-/220785284546?_trksid=p4340.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D15%26pmod%3D260759887366%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D803314460510465115
Any comments?
I'll test the dll on my MAch3 so long - just to see what it does...
Best Regards

Thanks Tweakie, this is the same files I got from the
http://www.cncdiy.org
site. I had a look at your site and the things you have done with your CNC, I'm stunned and very jealous!!!! Can't believe the laser cutting stuff. I really need to get a CNC!

Is it possible to survive without a CNC ?
