Hi,
OK I have just got a Orac CNC Lathe but it has it's own funny format for programming and quite a few limitations programming wize.
So I have had the cover off and found the two stepper driver boards inside, here is the PDF (they are SD3 on the Orac)
http://www.compumotor.com/manuals/Digiplan/SD/SD2.pdf
Now from the PDF I can see that you could control the Z + X axis via these boards using fairly sinple pin control but I am more than confused as to what the normal way of doing this is?
I would have thought that having the G-Code on the PC you would send it to a PCB board that you can purchase and it would convert the G-Code to signals that stepper drivers board understand.
but I have looked and I can't really find anything that looks right
am I missing something?
Thx
