All help is welcome. If there is software out there it can come from any source. It wouldn't hurt to look.

The cost of replacing the past it parts would be far inexcess $600 greater than the machines worth. I decided to start at the end and look around for software that could use this type of input, none was found. It seems that the whole thing is turning into a nightmare with every part of the project being developed from scratch. With hind-sight it would have been far cheaper to buy a new machine but I thought that there must be people out there that would have a use for such a system and have carried on. It will be done. I will keep you posted as to the results, good or bad.
I am just getting some machine tools together myself. The guy working
on "Stepster" is well aware of this kind of thing from telescope
making. I can point you to telescope softeware if you want. I can do
some coding, but not really one of my strenghts.
