After looking into many PIC projects i think i am on the correct path!.
I build CNC machines and what i would like to do is have a digital readout of where each axis is. If the xy or z axis moves 200mm in 1 direction i would like to have the readout tell me it has moved 200mm.
It needs to measure distance moved.
Has anyone seen a project out there that would suit my needs.
I have just started to get back into electronics after 15 years off and all my experience has been with RF circuts so im a little lost with digital readouts. So my next question is, Would this PIC programmer from Maplins be good enough for my needs.
