Jeshua Lacock pisze: If your looking for something simple try using the Generation-6, RAMPS, or any Atmega based hardware along with some Opto limit switches. All you have to do from there is set the machine paramiters using the Firmware configuration.h file. The firmware can be "Teacup" "Sprinter" "Marlin" and the control software can be anything including EMC Linux CNC, but most people use Sprinter or ReplicatorG. EMC is alot like Mach3, it sends pulses to a parallel port either a COM or DB25 style but with the TFID chip you can connect your device using a USB port. You will need to write a post or something to have EMC function properly, I will look into it and post what I find. I have been trying to do this with Mach3 for a while now with no luck, however I can read from a txt file containing G code and have Arduino run three steppers without any sheild.
