As I try and track down Thomson rails I'm sitting here trying to figure out my total bill of materials.
Please tell me if I left anything vital out of my list, my head is fuzzy
1. Computer
2. Cad software and G code processor software (some are freely available)
3. xylotex XS-3525/8S-3 Stepper motor driver board
4. three 116oz steppers from xylotex (or better somewhere else?)
5. Parallel extension cable
6. Power supply... 24VDC (any common transformer plug??? or not?)
7. ?????
Thanks for your input. I might need more info on the power supply if I can't just use a plug with transformer. I've built power supplies before for my audio amplifiers but have never designed my own. Any plans?
Thanks!
