What I've been wanting someone to make are screw terminal breakout boards for Pololu or StepStick sockets so that Step, Dir, Enable etc connections can be made to bigger external motor drivers from a CRAMPS, RAMPS and any other small control board made for use with those little drivers.

The STMBL project uses KiCAD. (Though they started with Eagle I think) As far as I know there haven't been any KiCAD-caused problems, but my involvement is fairly peripheral. (f you don't know, STMBL is pretty much the perfect retrofit brushless servo drive, as it will accept nearly any type of motor feedback and can drive both brushless PM and induction motors. It talks Mesa smart-serial for an all-digital command and feedback loop, but can also work with step-dir, RS232 etc) _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
