hi
any linuxCNC users in the Philippines?
Would like to ask for some technical help.
Thanks

hi
thanks for reply!
first i am absolutely new to this
Is linuxcnc one of the best cheapest ways of controlling 3d printers, an xyz axes?
Or would you recommend other options?
I would like to know that before proceeding with linuxcnc.
I purhcased a used 3d printer (it seems to be a taiwanese brand) and would like to get it to work
I prefer controlling through computers and software, rather than microcontrollers
I also wish to control x,y,z axis machines and possible pick and place robotic machines in the future, using
what I learn now.
So i am thinking linuxcnc would be a good choice...
But the interface boards that are required to control using parallel port are approx 150usd or more....
are there cheaper alternatives?
Is there a way to control the mitsubishi servo drive directly through the parallel ports and without and interface, using linuxcnc?
thank you
Dex

Probably not. There are many Arduino-based sets of 3D-printer controllers that are likely to be cheaper than LinuxCNC.
That is probably an application better suited to LinuxCNC< if you don't mind coding your Pick-and-place in G-code. (I don't know what is conventionally used)
If the drive takes 5V step-dir inputs then yes. If not, then you need some interface hardware.
