Title: Can Mach communicate with more than one motion controller simultaneously?
Post by: Mad Welder on April 29, 2012, 02:50:59 PM

Hi all just wondering can Mach3 communicate with the Eithernet Smooth Stepper and K-Flop motion controller at the same time..??

If both plug-ins were installed and the K-Flop connected by USB and the ESS connected would Mach on start up simply ask the user to select just one motion controller...??

Eoin, what is your wanting to do or why would you want to do that?  Would you be better off setting up 2 profiles you think?

Only one selection can be made at startup.
