Re: little machine shop 7 x 16 lathe conversion

Hi Marty,

It looks like I can buy a KBSI-240D card to be able to control the spindle motor. I should also be able to use the relay board that came with the Acorn board for use of forward and reverse. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks
Dave
