It looks like the hard drive is dead. We tried various ways to get it sorted but no luck.

So I guess I will start from scratch with a newer PC which will hopefully offer good future proofing and reliability.

I have purchased a UC300 ethernet motion controller and a 5 volt power supply from CNC Drive so I will attach this to the existing control box setup.

Not sure what PC to get at this point. Obviously I don`t want to spend loads of money.

The choice I need to make is do I just get a lower powered PC to run the machine or get one at least capable of editing in fusion 360.
My workshop is 20 minutes away from my house and I could see it being a problem if I couldn`t just make a quick adjustment to a file or something without driving back home.

Apparently the Ryzen 2400g apu`s will run fusion quite well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHWwcStt868 (I have a Ryzen5 1600 in my home PC, it is fast and cheap)

Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
What Computers are you running?

And finally, if you were starting from scratch at this point in time, with no experience of either. Would mach3 or UCCNC be the best choice ?

Thanks
