I would not bother with M3 to much have you ever had a look at the PoKeys57CNC I am going to be changing over to one soon for other things just out of interest, I have not seen any new youtube vids from you lately
Looks interesting. For testing, I am going to go thru the available TCP motion controllers that are popular with MACH4. I already have the ESS up and running for testing and for my own equipment, I will be using a CSMCIO motion controller
http://www.cs-lab.eu/en/produkt-2,2-CSMIOIPS___6_axis_Ethernet_Motion_Controller_STEPDIR_with_connectors.html based primarily on my great respect for the advice of Hood, a major contributor here.
I am interested in the Pokeys 56E
http://www.poscope.com/PoKeys56E to use as a TCP Modbus 'portal' to relieve that processing from the DUE. I have the older USB version that was acquired for some past project, but I have never used it.
As far as videos, I can only post stuff of my own. Most projects are done under NDA and I would be in big trouble is I posted videos of them . . LOL!
However, there are two, possible three, new videos series coming up. The IH mill conversion that ran over many videos will be coming back into the shop for conversion to MACH4 using the above mentioned motion controller and the setup will be getting one of the first combination InTurn™ 4th axis motor controller /Mach4 pendants as well as improved ATC software. Most of these Off-Shore mills have very flexible tables, so reinforcing the table *might* also be done . . that is undecided at this point.
I am also going to FINALLY start the 'big mill' project. That involved building an all new Bridgeport sized mill specifically to be a stable platform for the new InTurn™ ULTRA. It will have truly massive ball slides and ball screws.
The third 'possible' video series would cover the development of the MACH4 pendant . . . but I am reluctant to do that one because of the proprietary nature of it . . and the fact that I have not been collecting any video footage . . which makes it difficult to put one togather
