    New breakout board

    I am just to start building on my 2nd machine these days, and I have now som sanyo denki servos that I am gonna use for this.

    I am running them on position control directly on the printerport.

    But I wanted to know if someone could suggest a breakout board that i could buy to connect my pins to homing, limit switches, spindle relay and so on?

    Doesnt need to be very fancy, but i would like to have some options to play with.(even possibly using all in and outputs that mach3 offers)

    Is it also possible to add another printerport, so that I could have more I/O´s?

    links to both and recomandations would be greately appriciated.

    I am planning to use a cantilevered design for easy acsess.....has this been done DIY before?

    Size......4x8 foot aprox

    Best reg cory

    We created two versions. We only sell the blank pcb boards, the first one is really simple and is running on our micromill with Mach3 software.

    No, he does ship outside the US, send him a message and request shipping costs for overseas.
    There are a few others on here using that same board that are overseas.
