![]() ![]() The good news is that these boards all have over 50 inputs and outputs, enough for you to expand. These devices cost a bit more, around $150-$200 and the UC300 and the SmoothStepper require a breakout board as well, probably allowĪs much as another $150 for a good breakout board. If you want more inputs and outputs then there are a few economical multi-port devices like the UC300 (CNCDrive), The Ethernet SmoothStepper (Warp9 TD), DONT GO THERE, they are not nearly as good as the real thing.īuy genuine from CNCDrive or their nominated distributor. Note that the UC100 is very popular so there are hundreds of Chinese knock-offs on Amazon and EBay. They have the equivalent of one ports worth of inputs/outputs, OK for simple machines but a bit restrictive if you want more features. There are three very similar (good) USB input/DB25 output motion controllers, the UC100 (CNCDrive), the PMDX-411 (PMDX) and the 57CNCdb25 (PoKeys). ![]() Run Mach on the same PC then you require an external motion controller. If you have Fusion 360 then the PC on which it runs must be 64 bit as Fusion won't un on 32 bit machines. A parallel port runs on Windows 7 32bit and earlier OS's only and only desktop PCs at that.Īny 64 bit OS will require an external motion controller, some are USB connected, some are Ethernet connected.Įthernet connected is preferred, much lower latency and the connection is much more resistant to electrical noise. ![]()
