This comes up every now and again on here and on the HSM forum but can be buried in
threads with obscure titles.
There isn't a simple plug and play system nor even a simple
Arduino/pi/other system for sale like the electronic leadscrew options.
John initially
had a pure TTL logic chip solution but later converted to a computer based system
somebody developed for him, which as far as I know has not been made
commercially available.
However a couple of people on here I think have got it sorted, but they
are advanced electronics tinkerers.

This part is not true
"There isn't a simple plug and play system nor even a simple

Richard Bartlett designed and made the "Compucut Syncron" system
which i have ,it did not have the shortcomings of the published
circuit that was in MEW 108 but is a system that actually works
properly.
As far as i know the system is still available ,when i spoke to
Richard a few years ago he still had about 10 or 12 pcb
boards.
You still have to make up the head and work holding spindle to
suit the machine application ,was in Mew 193 also some
photo's in album gears.
