My CNC lathe conversion uses a dual control system allowing full CNC with Mach4/Smoothstepper AND manual control with an Arduino. I’ve now added profile turning function on the Arduino. See www.wadeodesign.com for a full write up of the conversion along with CAD files and parts list (all for free). source
This conversion is a bit unique as it uses dual controllers; one for CNC with Mach4 and another to drive all the original manual controls with an Arduino UNO. Visit my website www.wadeodesign.com for blog of the detail design and full documentation available for download including CAD design files, parts/price list, electrical schematic, and Arduino
