pstep from luberth IS a serial to PHASE controll setup using the pic chip. it uses a MAX232 chip and a pic chip. That version should/would really only need a reworking to remove the PHASE controll and output step/dir, OR have one pin set aside to tell the chip weather to run in PHASE or step/dir mode. That would be a simple matter of setting a single pin HIGH or LOW.
P.S. I have prob. seen every cnc web site out there. Dont forget we who bring out new design's SET the standerd in the open source field. Because the design that works best becomes adopted and refined the most! |
