CNC Controller

[pettiger15]

Hi, im new to this CNC hobby and wanted to try to make one myself i have been researching this alot and i think i could build it. I had a question about the controllet for the stepper motors. I wanted to make one myself since buying one is pretty expensive and i found the site with instructions on building a controller and wanted to know if it would work with stepper motors and with the mach 3 program?

I think the 5804's are hard to obtain,
you should visit pminmo.com for other options.
