    Control and software

    Hi,

    I need help with control, hardware and software for CNC. I have 3-axis CNC, and I need software and hardware for it. Motors which I use are FL60STH86-2008BF 2.0A / 1.8°, and they are super.

    But, now I use some small homemade program which has limited functions, so I need good program (which is not expensive) for PC (XP) and controller which I can made at home for that program.This machine is only for home use.

    Thanks in advance for any information.

    Well, I'm now, and I was tried it and it seems ok. It have many options and I will need some time to learn to use it, but I like it. Price is good too, so now I only need to make controller, do you maybe have some tips about that or maybe you know where to find build instructions for mach3 controller (hardware)?

    Thanks again.

    I think you have most of the answers in your other post, there should be enough information here if you sift through it.
