Electronic Leadscrew for the New Lathe
Bigbadbugga:
I've been researching the electronic leadscrew options for my boxford, I've found one I'd like to replicate but can't seem to get any of the details from the git hub site. It's open source, can anyone on here get the pcb schematics for the board?

Did you try downloading the project ZIP file? Bottom right corner of the page you referenced, there's a button. It's a bit hard to see but it's there.
I didn't download it, so if it's just the files you're having a problem with I can't help with that.
The more I read this thread, the more I get interested in doing this to my machine instead of full CNC. I've had 3 axes under computer control (it's a combo mill/lathe) but found it to be very limiting when you just want to whip off a part. Not to mention the lack of ballscrews and lots of backlash adds another dimension to the hurdles.
Going semi-automatic seems like a nice compromise, as I too hate changing gears and my machine isn't set up well for threading in the first place.

Sparky seems like since you are familiar with the Teensy and programming it, you could try it out pretty easily.
I have to learn arduino coding to do it (if an arduino is fast enough re. Dave's comment). Probably trying out some of the programming tutorials tonight.
Bigbadbugga:
I've already downloaded the zip.
The problem is, there are loads of files containing all the code for the arduino and the display, but there are no schematics for the pcb as far as I can see. There are a few files I can't seem to open though, they seem to be database files and I just can't find a program to open them on my Mac, it just displays a text box foll of gibberish.
