The 3040 CNC machine is the world’s most popular low-cost rigid CNC, but nobody in the maker community knows about it…until now. Go get one for yourself and use ChiliPeppr on it with a TinyG.

It’s been around for quite a while (though I got a 6040 for our lab).
@Miguel_Sanchez did you stick with the parallel port and Mach3? Or did you upgrade it?
As I watch your video I stated to feel the urge to TinyG-it ASAP 
@jlauer It’s actually very common in the maker community from what I’ve seen. Lots of people using those with arduinos/grbl too.
@jlauer curious where you bought your 3040?

The 6040 comes with one driver for each axis and the parallel port breakout board. It comes with a VFD and AC spindle with water cooling instead of the air cooled DC spindle of the 3040.
@Alden_Hart and I have been messing with doing the same for sometime. Nice touch with the BeagleBone Black, will have to do the same. Thanks for sharing!
