controller works with most step/dir stepper and servo motor drivers available on the market.motor driver connector pin-out is compatible with 10 pin open source interface (Linistepper, PICStep).USB (V2.x) from PC/Laptop running Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 (32 bit or 64bit).It has many advanced features to assist day-to-day CNC machine operation. The USB CNC Controller software is a dedicated application, designed to fully exploit the features of the purpose-built hardware. Additional machine control software is NOT required. PlanetCNC controllers provide a complete, fully integrated software/hardware solution. It also provides DB25 and built-in screw terminal connections. The Mk2/4 controller is essentially a 4 axis version of the Mk2 controller, supporting the same high pulse rate and advanced software functions. The Mk1 controller for up to 4 axes, the Mk2 controller, using up to 9 axes and the Mk2/4 controller supporting up to 4 axes. There are currently three models available. They can serve as direct replacement or upgrade for many parallel port break-out boards. The controllers use the USB port, available on all modern computers and laptops. I’ll PM you as I’m interested in the card.The PlanetCNC series of USB CNC motion controllers link between a personal computer and motor drivers supporting step/direction control. Thank you so much for the info, that does look like a great setup. Other products are the UCR201 wireless pendant, Wireless tool height setter. Though to be honest I prefer the AXBB-E if don't need lots of I/O because it's a very neat little package. I also keep other cncdrive products, like the uc300ETH which is the Big brother to AXBB-E, it's exactly the same controller but with more inputs/outputs and in a different card format. If you want to buy one of these I keep them in stock for the machines I build/sell and offer to sell to forum members so drop me a PM. To be honest, Mach3 is too long in the tooth and unsupported, UCCNC has surpassed it in every area and is fully supported with good backup. I used to fit Mach3 on all the machines I build but have now completely switched to UCCNC and CNCDrive motion controllers as it's so much smoother and much more reliable than Mach3 or Mach4.

It can use Mach3 or their own software which is UCCNC which is much much better than Mach3 and works very similar, it's also much cheaper. It as 4-axis on the board or up to 6-axis with an extra breakout board that plugs into the expansion port on the side. This is an Ethernet Motion controller with a built-in breakout board and spindle speed controller. The perfect Motion controller for this machine is AXBB-E from CNCDRIVE.
