I have an old Sherline CNC mill with a stepper motor controller box made by "Backtrack Manufacturing". I don't have the software that came with the controller to run Gcode. The controller box has 4 inputs from the parallel port that drive 4 fets to the stepper motor coils for each axis. The control box will drive 3-axis. Can EMC be configured to run the control box? I have the Ubuntu 6.06 with EMC 2.2.2.1 iso burned to a CD and I'm using that to give EMC a whirl.  |

| Update: Appears that this can be done in EMC. http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Stepgen Now I have to figure out how to implement it. |
