I will eventually add stepper motors to my mill. For now I would like to get DRO capability for manual operation by driving Mach 3 software with the signals from a pair of Ditron DMS scales (RS422 format).
So my understanding is that I need some sort of Break-Out-Board to interface between the scales and the parallel port on the PC.
Can anyone suggest a suitable low cost BOB for this purpose?
