Just a quick question or 2, but first, brilliant machine.

So, are you using a 5axis controller card for Mach3 for this, or are you using a ramps variant with special firmware.
My second question, is either way you go, will you be releasing the firmware and software at the same time?

I ask only because I want to try to piece something like this together to see if I can get the movement down. I really want to try to build something similar.. It would be great to figure out while i'm sitting around this winter.

Of course I'll contribute to the project, the software would be a great to use.. I share in your belief that the reason we don't have 5axis anything, is because the gCode generators don't exist yet. Thanks for your time!
