Oh... That puts me back at zero.
So, I guess I'm back on the hunt for a bipolar driver board with idle current reduction abilities. I don't mind building it from a kit or plans (I would rather spend the money from expensive prebuilt controllers on other things).
I would like to use the stock lead screws because I don't want to give up the manual ability.
Mach3 looks very fancy. I'm hoping to run this on an IBM Thinkpad with Windows 98. So I don't think it will run, but I'll look closer.
Looking at DeskCNC, it looks pretty good. I'll have read it over though, at first glance it only mentioned x and y axis.
Still searching and thanks for the help.
David
