Mach3 and USB to cnc driver

If you want to use a stand alone controller then you don't need it.

But you do as you want. I really don't care. Just wanted to help.

Thank you, it was a misunderstanding on my behalf as I understood from your comments that I would need the motion controller UC100 no matter what I upgraded with.

That's what I couldn't understand.. But I do now..

Thankyou and now fully understand what's needed, it's purely me not wanting to invest in something just to get me going when I could upgrade it..

I have now installed the old PC and got it running through the PP for now..

Thanks for everyone's input and guidance of what the issues are and finally getting to the bottom of it as I didn't understand about the UC100 issue.

I will be surfing the forums for the upgrades solutions going forward..

Thanks again everyone..

If it runs well through the PP and you are happy with it then just leave it as it is for now, until you know what you need. In my opinion the UC400ETH would be a better upgrade than the UC100, but again that's just my opinion.

You don't "need" the UC100, but you MUST have a motion controller if you plan to use W10 or W7 64 bits. The PP is not supported by Microsoft after W7 32 bits.
