Raymond,
as you will understand from the other positive mails it is definitely
worth the effort.
Almost any stepper driver/motor combination is possible. I am using an
old Compaq PC, slower than 1 GHz and 512 (or 1 GB - I forgot) MB of
memory.
I am using stepper drivers with optical isolation

Tom,
It looks like his instructions was missing the following:
sudo apt-get build-dep emc2
sudo apt-get install build-essential libpth-dev
Then just to make sure you are in the correct folder:
cd ~/emc/src
./configure --enable-run-in-place
make
sudo make setuid

EMC can be run on something as simple as single step / direction drive
connected to the parallel port, or as complex as a 5 axis (capable of 9 last
i knew) servo machine with toolchanger and other goodies using a PCI card

Actually it's pretty simple. There are a lot of instructions on that

Hi Jon,
I did this years ago. It is really pretty easy as the emc docs lay
out modal G codes pretty well. It really isn't too many lines of code.
Unfortunately, I cannot find the source and at one time it was in the
dropbox but could be retrieved today only if someone happened to
find an old

Hi Tom,
yeah, sorry.. I am listening ;)
There was an option for the ini file shortly called [IO] SPINDLE_MODE, but
it's removed now.
The upcoming emc2.3.0 version will allow to do what you want by default.
Nothing else you need to do, except help with beta testing ;)

Hi Steve,
I have read your replies and am digesting. I will have to reread and digest

I also have to work, so this will have to wait a little while . :-)

Thank you for the helpful explanation about CD's.

Hi all,
First of all: I am not familiar with EMC.
I have a driver, this driver is connect to PC with USB interface, and if
I send to the driver the trajectory (2 axis possiotions), this
trajectory is calculated by a simple application developed by me. The
driver performs its work very well (for my
