    New low cost CNC Controller, USB, Windows XP based!

    Hereby I want to anounce my new CNC controller product USBCNC.

    - It works with USB in stead of parallel port.
    - 4 Axes.
    - Probing.
    - Hardware is DIY.
    - G-Code is EMC/MACH compatible.


    Just have a look and judge yourself: www.usbcnc.com


    With kind regards,
    Bert

    Very interesting!

    A suggestion - offering a USB Bob would definately bolster the appeal of your core product.

    Thanks Scott.

    Yes I am working on a complete DIY kit.
    I am also building a new CNC machine, so I am quite busy.
    The kit will become available in a couple of months.
    In the mean time i recommend using a kit from www.voti.nl,
    that is also a good solution and very cheap.

    Regards,
    Bert

    For your info:
    Complete hardware solutions, build and tested will be available
    for a low price in August if everything goes as expected.
    The project files (Eagle and PDF) of the 2 solutions that I will offer are also on the download page of www.usbcnc.com. You can also build them yourself and order the programmed PIC only.

    Regards,
    Bert (bert@usbcnc.com)

    I can't download the .pdf "CNC Manual (english)". Acrobat gives me an error. Any ideas, why?

    http://usbcnc.com/down.loads/usbcnc.pdf

    Looks like a cool product.

    Never mind, I pasted the link in Google and it worked fine.


    Update: It must have been on my end, your site works now.

    so, if i understand, this is similar to the desktopcnc usb device?

    its pretty sweet that someone finally tackled that... it is a shame mach(x) has a $400 hardware interface that does loads of cool stuff most people are not immediately interested in, instead of a simple usb device like this..

    all the same, has anyone here tried it?

    Try Foxit Reader. Way faster than Acrobat reader, and uses hardly any disk space. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
