    True Plug and Play Controler Kits?

    Are there any vendors that offer a true plug an play package for the electronics? I know Xylotex offers a kit that does not allow for limit switches. Still they seem to be the only ones. Anyone else?

    I know this is a DIY forum, but I suspect that I am not the only one that feels the building of the machine and learning how to use it is enough of a challenge. I would like to know at least if there are options.

    What I am talking about is a kit that is already mounted to a case, has a break out board, controllers AND powersupply included. Something where you can literally plug the thing into the wall, connect your Parallel port cable and plug in motor leads and limit switch leads and just GO. Any options out there?

    There are vendors selling Gecko/Rutex based controllers.

    Some of these boxes sell for $2500 or so and I've seen one guy selling 3 Geckos w/power supply bolted to a piece of white MDF for $1900.

    I'm sure these "boxes" are tested and ready to go- If that is what you're looking for, I check for the links and post them later.
