<br>
it works the same way as the cheap shitty MyDIYCNC that we have now, except<br>
that this is a Real Machine and much more accurate. As for untethering it<br>
from the shitty old desktop, i have a mini computer with a parallel port that<br>
can be attached to the back of the CNC, and then it can be used from one's<br>
laptop via ssh with x-forwarding, or one can plug in a monitor and keyboard, or<br>
use x11vnc or whatever<br>
<br>
but a smoothie board would be inappropriate since the MaxNC has its own motor<br>
driver electronics, and only needs to be sent TTL signals (from a parallel port<br>
or whatever) to step along in whatever direction.<br>
<br>
if you wanted to convert the MaxNC to something simpler, a regular arduino with<br>
a g-code interpreter and a DB25M plug would work just fine to step it around.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Took another crack at trying to drill through holes with the mini CNC.<br>
Short story, still doesn't work but I figured out why the origin/home is so<br>
far away, at least when using KiCAD.<br>

I would be nice to upgrade the CNC to use a Smoothie Board, doing away with<br>
the need to use Real-Time Linux, not sure if the owner would be keen, but<br>
at $45 I feel it would be a worthy investment.<br>
