It looks like the Supra kit has a motion controller as part of the kit. The PC you add to complete the kit is for the Supra user interface software to tell the controller what to do. EMC2 is a motion controller that comes with its own front-ends, so you would need to bypass the Supra controller and connect to the Supra stepper driver inputs. Unless you completely copy one of the EMC examples, you will need to customize your configuration file. I think EMC makes it easy and is the best part of EMC. -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC/EMC CNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending Craftsman AA 109 restoration Shizuoka ST-N/EMC CNC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
