Which way next?

[frogeye]

Hi All,

I've recently finished a retro-fit to an ORAC lathe using the original power supplies, a C11G BOB from CNC4PC, MSD980 stepper drives from Motion Control Products here in the UK, and a pre loved IBM thinkCentre from ECgo.co.uk - pictures attached.

The next phase of the project is to provide manual control with two MPG's and the usual slack handfull of push buttons and indicators for rapids, spindle control, prog stop/start etc. I'd also like to impliment pots for FRO and Spindle speed. Eventually, an ATC will be included.

My question is...
Which way to go?? Cubloc, ModIO or Pokeys.

Any suggestions would be most welcome

Many thanks,
Paul
