I recently had a catastrophic failure on the computer I was using to control my G0704 CNC mill. In the process of building a new one I became painfully aware of how difficult finding a suitable computer and setting up a new parallel port-based system is. In researching alternate strategies I came across a USB Motion Controller at Automation Technologies pictured below.
At first glance, this appears like a good solution that would eliminate the need for parallel ports on the computer and at the same time allow reuse of parallel port based break out boards for those with controllers already configured.
Unfortunately my research did did not uncover any information on setup, configuration, reliability or any review - either positive or negative.
Has anyone used this product and have any feedback?
Thanks
