I wonder - I got a Sieg KX1-NU CNC mill, without controller.

It had two boards in it; one was a specific speed controller board, the other 
was, from my understanding, a common Sieg board. 

Go to littlemachineshop.com and look at the replacement parts for their smaller 
CNC mill. (look for replacement parts, CNC machines, 3993 control board, 3501 
spindle; it plugs into the "motor controller, 3501 spindle" board)

Ok - the little board had on the screw terminal connections:

- isolated power supply;
- 110v input;
- isolated 5v output;
- analog speed in;
- ground;
- direction;
- something else.

It was really, really easy to send the +5v, ground, and analog in lines to the 
Gecko G540 that I put in.

I did have to adjust the on-board potentiometer on this little board to give me 
maximum speed with +5v; as it was probably set up for 0-10v.

I wonder if this board would fit in your machine? A bit expensive, but a 
plug-n-play solution, if your "motor controller board is the same.
