Just a quick note. I do own my own CNC machine, surface grinder, and small engine lathe. So, if someone needs some parts made, just let me know. Maybe we can work something out.

I’m in that trade myself!
I’m sorry.
You should be! I’m a level III+ tool and die maker! Lol!
Lol!
I have several Raspberries shelved mainly to build a few retro computer consoles. I’ve also dabbled with FPGAs to a small extent. I built a retro C65 computer using an FPGA project board. I housed it all in a 64C repopped case. I’m into the old Commodore 64 and 128 computers. I’ve owned several since 1983. I like to refurbish and mod old dead units. I do everything from cleaning and retro brighting to recapping boards, replacing bridge rectifiers and the dead CMOS chips with new old stock. I do it just for fun and my inventory is slowly growing.
Anyway, back to your topic. I’ve built a working CNC before, but it was PC based. Did you use the Raspberry GPIO pins to connect to a breakout board?
The TRS-80 Color Computers were cool too. A couple of school friends had them.. I just always like the Commodore computers especially because of the 6581 and 8580 SID sound chips. There is still a big following for the C64. There are several small companies in Europe that build new motherboards and cases. Not to mention all the enthusiasts building their own PLA and SID replacements and making them available for sale.
