Unless,
As I will be running 3 axis, with vfd for spindle, with plans to eventually set up pump for coolant .
Would this set up would require more I/O's than the AXBB-E has?

Really sorry for potentially stupid questions that some of you have probably seen 100000000's of times, but I'm struggling to establish what I need with what.

I suppose there's never a stupid question only stupid answers.

Right last one (for now), Mach 3 + AXBB-E. Have I wasted money on Mach 3 licence ? Should I have got UCCNC?
Oh for a simple life.

AXBB-E has plenty of outputs out of the box.
Enough for 4 axis + 9 other ancilliary switches etc + the analog 0-10v.
Port#3 gives another 11 on top of that I believe.

For me it was only lacking in the amount of inputs having only 6 + an exra 5 on port#3 (11).

The UC300eth + extras gives the same amount of outputs but can give you up to 49 inputs.
I needed more inputs which was the only reason I went to the 300.
