Re: DRO boards
Wow, 15-16 bucks for the board? That's pretty good. The encoder
chips from US Digital are only $23 each, the 74LS138's are less than

Re: DRO boards
Yes, you're right about that. One option is to try out the system
with the USD encoders, then upgrade to a high-resolution version from
somewhere like Heidenhain or similar. I have seen just the

Re: DRO boards
Tom ,
From what I can see of this project using the US Digital Linear strips is the

Lap Top Computer as CNC Controller
I'm lurking trying to learn about homemade DROs and CNC to see if I want to
