Hi Gene, what are you talking about? My setup uses a Raspberry Pi 3 plus a Mesa 7i90. The raspi and the 7i90 ar connected with just a 6-pole ribbon cable. It provides up to 8 channels steppers and servos etc. And it needs a case with just 1 liter capacity. The whole setup. Costs: raspi3 = 35.00$ 7i90 = 59.00$ case = I dont know... ;) matsche -- "In der Wissenschaft siegt nie eine neue Theorie, nur ihre Gegner sterben nach und nach" Max Planck ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting.
