There are many colleagues in another forum I attend, using the modified CNC3AX very successfully.
The original FETs, were replaced by IRF640, with 12V power
Electrolytic capacitors have been changed to 100V

I am very pleased with it.

I had ordered it from CNC4PC for a few dollars more because they had them in stock vs getting on a wait list.

I hooked it up and aside from a bit of a misunderstanding on my part about how to configure EStop, it was up and running in no time.

I have been using the parallel port on a 2.8Ghz Desktop PC...

we should definitely look at the reprap open source self-replicating printer

it uses really interesting hardware, including a sanguino board that can interpret g-code from usb or an SD card (autonomous) and can talk to steppers, servo, and even normal DC motors, as long as you add a position encoder

I ordered one today, but will put it together in a little while

I had ordered the control board that Easy-CNC quite some time ago - I had grandiose plans of a big router table then saw the Phlatprinter and figured that would get me up and running way quicker. Anyway, I've been running the board off of a converted computer power supply, and it works fine, but is too bulky to tuck inside the...

I really do not know much about it but it seems to be an alternative to the smooth stepper?
If anyone wants to research this a little more and post their findings here that would be great.
Thanks

I can get the driver board, software and servos for £100

advantages:
-serial port (thus can run in a virtual machine under Ubuntu)
-supports servos and steppers

disavandtages:
-not compatible with mach3 or emc2 (big minus for me as I am pushing toward everything opensource)

should I go for it?]]> 1 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 03:46:14 +0000 http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/running-mach3-from-a-dell-latitude-d800.15/ http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/running-mach3-from-a-dell-latitude-d800.15/ invalid@example.com (Anonymous) Anonymous First of all, I KNOW there are dire warnings about running Mach from a laptop - I chose to ignore them.
