I am thinking about a smooth stepper.
Not sure if I need one or even want one at the present time.
I know some of the reasons advantages to have one
1) enable mach 3 use with laptop.
2) transfers motion control logic from the computer to the SS mc
3) enables more I/O logic ports for relays to control stuff
a total of 40 I/O 16/24 24/16
am I missing other good reasons to pay out the $155 for one of these.
Is this one of those Items if you have to ask why you need it you problem do not or more like something if you have one you wonder how you lived with out it.
I should probably get the train moving down the track before I worry too much about bells and whistles.
I noticed the smooth stepper is part of the Mill Build package at the CNC seminar. So got me thinking to I need one or would I benefit from one?
