I would be interested - I have been trawling the 'net for a while now looking for exactly this kind of project - one that I can make myself and which won't cost more than my pension allows!! ;-) If you do embark on such a project, could I ask that you consider what components will be available easily in other parts of the world. I have found several 'open source' servo drivers but. in almost every case, they use some components which are either only available from certain US suppliers who won't ship overseas or can only be obtained from suppliers whose shipping rates make the whole thing uneconomic. I would love to convert my little mill to servo drive and even have usable motors and encoders sitting waiting but I just can't afford to buy commercial drivers for them. -- Best wishes, Ian ____________ Ian W.
