    Cool Any Cheaper than this!

    Came across this while searching for Micro PIC's, looks like Hyperterminal is used to output a plotter file to a PIC.
    I though it might be of interest to someone.

    This is an attempt to create a serial stepper driver. This guy created a program that breaks down a hpgl file into commands that are sent to the pic which in turn creates a PWM signal for the steppers. This way you are not limited by the max troughput of the parallel port.
