I want to buy a cricut but I am not sure if I can afford it. I would use it mostly for cutting out letters and if I could hook it up to my computer, that would be doable. Does that even work?
To hook the cricut up to your computer you need the same cord that hooks up to most HP printers to your computer.
The Cricut is a cartridged based system so the only reason you would need to hook it up to your computer is if you also buy their Design Studio software and that comes with the needed cord. Even if you were to buy the software you would still need to purchase cartridges to use the machine. It does not cut the shapes and fonts on your computer (unless you purchase a third party software).
Also in my area there are a lot of cricuts on craigslist and some where able to get one at goodwill. I would get the Cricut Personal cutter if you only plan to do just letters. Sometimes Joanns and Michaels put those on sale for less than $100.

Of course it is possible.
That circuit needs to have a PC interface. Ether its own PCI card or a usb interface.
