Sharpie ultra fine permanent markers are PCB Etch (e.g Sodium Persulphate o Ferric Chloride ) resistant so plotting with spring loaded permanent markers may be an easier way to make PCB board than end-mill routing.
Just let Mach3 do just the through hole drilling Only since drilling unlike routing does not need perfect levelling of the PCB.

Sounds good, perhaps you could try it and post a few pictures of your results.

I have a feeling that it is the XHC controller that you will need to replace

What brand is the best will this one do???

Hard, if not impossible, to say which is the best but a motion controller that I use with Mach3 is the Warp9 ESS. https://warp9td.com/

I currently don't have more funds for to purchase software.

Hi Tim,

Welcome to the forum.

You will need a little extra cash for the purchase of the Mach3 license which can be obtained from here;  https://www.machsupport.com/shop/mach3/

Perhaps take a look at the free software from Scorch Works; http://scorchworks.com/Fengrave/fengrave.html & http://www.scorchworks.com/
that should get you started.

Please can someone tell me correct Pins Ports and Motor values to plug into Mach3 to make my machine move I can take it from there on tuning just don't know Values and check marks to plug in to get started.

Unfortunately it is not quite as simple as that...
Your CNC-USB motion controller has to interpret the data which is sent in packets via the USB connection and currently it will not recognize Mach3 (irrespective of the Mach3 Ports & Pins settings).
You could try contacting Planet-CNC to ask if they have a suitable plug-in for your particular motion controller.

From your last picture you have a CNC USB Motion Controller. This operates with the Planet-CNC software and does not require the use of Mach3.
I am currently unable to reach the new Planet CNC website but you should be able to download the necessary software and manuals from their old site here;

EDIT;  The Planet CNC site is back up again & you can download from here; https://planet-cnc.com/software/
