I don't care about the realtime for this moment. I do care for something to do the calculations to a cartesian system. And now I might be pushing it, but I might even try to get it working with a bluetooth dongle and a bluetooth arduino. That way I can make a (if battery powered) wireless machine. Well, let's not get carried away. I have to finish the parts first. > Yes, you can mix and match I/O devices--parport for motor control plus > arduino for the odds and ends should work nicely.

Very nice, I will give it try in the next few days.
