Wow, another year come and gone with no visible activity.  Honest, this project is not dead, and I know that to be so,  because it continues to take up a huge chunk of bench space!

• I picked up a low cost Smoothieboard work-alike which is a much better solution than a Mega and a screw terminal shield.  32 Bit ARM cortex-M3 LPC1768. MOSFETs. RAMPS sockets. USB and Ethernet.  SD Card. GUI with touch panel.  
• Baby step 1: wire up the steppers and limit switches, and get the axes moving. Worry about spindle, coolant, VFD, etc later.
