Interface PC with machine

[Js_Ong]

Hi All,

I want to learn on how to make a CNC. I can do all the mechanical and 8051 programming, but how and what should I do to interface with computer, what software to use, how could I get AutoCAD drawing to import into the software? I plan to start with XY axis first.


Thanks.
