CNC Bridgeport with Heidenhein control

Karl, if you can give me a rundown of what I would need/how much time it will take/how much it will cost, it would be greatly appreciated. The major cost here will be your time. A lot to learn. My pure guess would be about two man months. The more equipment you can reuse the more you save and the more time you'll spend. Its easier to do a simple machine first, this one isn't it. Look in to how you do the servo drives with the Heidenhein scales and what all you'll need to interface all the I/O to your Linux box. These will be the two largest costs. Iggy has one huge advantage. He likely knows the *nix world and is a programmer. I look forward to an interesting set of progress postings.

Unix is definitely the easiest part of this undertaking. i |
