You can connect your scales to a parallel port using wires. For neatness and reliability you might also want to use plugs. Any additional components just reduce the probability of damaging the port and/or motherboard. More important than the scales for determining what hardware would be appropriate is what type of axis motors you are trying to control. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
