Browsing the web for CNC gear made me fall over this board from Rocketronics.
Couldn't resist so I ordered a board
Micropod1
Harware is 25 EUR , including Beamicon2 Basic software (However I hope it can be ported for LinuxCNC in some way) <
brief overview of most of the features:
PC software "Beamicon Basic" included, no extra licence costs!
Professional hardware with high interference immunity
With network interface for stable and interference-free data transmission
Connection also via network switch, direct connection to PC not necessary
Fast 32-bit microprocessor generates motor signals independently of the PC
Robust real-time timing, clock frequency up to 1.6 MHz (all axes simultaneously)
Operating voltage 5V
Outputs for 4 axes, X, Y, Z and A
6 TTL inputs (5V) e.g. for reference switches, 1 of which for emergency stop
4 digital TTL outputs, one of them PWM output for spindle control
Supports current reduction and status signal of the output stages
With pin header socket
