This is the first attempt at a controller unit for my stepper driver on an X2 mill. I didn`t want to run this from the PC as it is likely to stay as a single axis, like a power feed, for some time. This unit allows me to have a power feed with variable speeds and also set limits and move easily between then.
A bit to go, but works in concept at least!
