CNC controller. No PC. Have you seen this?

Good thread here guys! And Dan.... Yep. Never to late to wade into this pool. come on up this summer and we can play on the haas and supermax!
to me it came down to the kid picking this area as his future. We bought that old supermax with A 1980s Bandit Cnc Controller. You tend to Learn A Lot quicker when Your cash is tied up in a non Functional machine. We picked centroid. Now we are doing haas too. This Past Week, the open source arduino marlin work just takes time and each has their place

Small world as i just posted a note about our low cost cnc arduino project we just wrapped up. These solutions keep getting better! We all win in the end!
 
Jim,

You are essentially describing Centroid's Oak board to a T.

4 axes standard, expandable to 8
16 inputs/9 outputs, with a 64/64 I/O expansion board available
6 encoder ports, with an expansion board for 6 more
Probes and MPG available

Base price for the board is $1600. If you add in the expansion boards, things can get expensive, though (and take up a ton of room). I've always preferred to have the choice of options rather than pay for things I'll never use.

The only other option I've seen in the same ballpark is Siemens 808D, but I'm leary of any controls made by Siemens.
