Mach3 and USB to cnc driver

[Ger21]

Some would argue that the UC100 is a better upgrade.
Note that the UC100 is capable of driving 4 axis. But the UC400ETH would be a better choice, as it has more I/O, and is only a little more money.

You'll still need stepper drives, unless you plan on keeping your existing driver board, which would be the weak link in any upgrade you do.

But it's not an upgrade, it's only getting my machine running with what I had already.

I already have 4 TB6600 stepper drivers from a planned project on a CO2 laser engraver that was brought last year..

I have a Rudia Controler for that and also have a C3D mini as well.

So have a couple of options it's just deciding what to do, I didn't want to start upgrading straight away.

Rather than spend on the UC100 or 400eth, I will do some more research and then upgrade the whole controller and drivers.

It's not an urgent projects and I have just been offered FOC a windows 7/32 with PP card already installed and working. I may even try that as a short term before progressing further

A UC100 and UCCNC is most definitely an upgrade.
