Completed robot project. I will post information over the next weeks and links to my microblog.
The robot is intended to educate give hands-on access to robots operating in an CNC environment (in terms of the G Code language).
The robot is based on the OWI Robot Arm with adapted motor controllers. The PC is the psuedo CNC controller with a single 18M2 microcontroller controlling each axis. The manual controller has been converted from analog to digital and has additional buttons to provide control modal controller and an emergency 'stop' control for the motors and the picaxes.
I have documented the process of adaption and will post photos and videos asap.

The have create a website to post all the details of the projects and all my related resources, see here
Thanks to everyone who helped me to complete this project. As I document I will thank everyone again.
