The STMBL developers are (by and large) LinuxCNC folks too. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HP3S4tDubu6S51qB0dFq0kXvCyXvPFrL-rhBZfqBHeY/edit#gid=0 Is the cost breakdown. The £49.55 is the price for a part-populated drive board delivered from China. The other parts are what needs to be added to make a complete drive. You can buy all those parts yourself, and assemble the drive in about 20 minutes. There are a bunch of people on this mailing list who paid exactly that price when they subscribed to the group purchase I organised. Are you saying I am owed £5000 :-) -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
