Homebrew PCBs

I'm not getting PICs for this model.  I'm going the short and simple route
for the drilling station:

- Mach 2 on the PC.
- Parallel cable to a triple driver board.
- 3 steppers connected to the driver board.
- Dremel-type drill mounted on Z-axis.

And that's it, no PICs.  I'll probably add bells and whistles later, but for
now I'm just going the easy route.  I have plans to add a USB camera with a
magnifier for inspecting circuits as I make them.

I still have plans for a CNC machine, that one I'll build on my spare time.
But right now I need to drill holes so that's where I'm putting my energy.

   Or get some samples from Microchip.


   Not so sure why you all are bent on getting PICs for this.  If all you're

doing is Step and Direction to 4 outputs you may as well spend the $2 and
get 
the 2 or 3 chips necessary to do it straight in logic, and skip the idea of 
programming anything..
