Is anyone using this controller? Not much action in the forum in the last 6 months.
For anyone using it is it much different from the DSPMC controller?

Hi Peter,
I have both and they are similar in use except you are using steppers vs servos. I have only gotten the Hiconn to the point of jogging motors on my lathe before life got in the way again. I am back in the shop again and will be setting up the lathe soon. (famous last words).

Mike,
Thanks for the response. I have the DSPMC version and want to change my servo drives to Step/Dir and use the Hicon. I am hoping to change everything over without lots of rewiring. Also looking at another ethernet controller that has all I/O 24V tolerant (my biggest complaint about the DSPMC) so I don't need interface boards, relays, etc.

If you decide to sell the DSPMC let me know via PM.
