I've requested a refund of the XHC controller  I'll get something else.  You have a URL for the small breakout boards for the pokeys controller?

The problem with the Pokey57cnc is the stupid ribbon headers.

Ok then, what other motion control boards are available that fully support MACH4.  I've seen the PoKeys and the PMDX boards.  Any others?  I'm not a fan of the necessary add on board to control the spindle on the PMDX boards and I don't like the ribbon connector headers for the stepper motor controls on the PoKeys board.  Anything all-in-one?

This is a version specifically for MACH4 (all versions): http://www.cdxhctech.com/html/eProduct/view_216_406.html .  The place I got it from even bundles it with MACH4 Hobby version if you want.  I think you are talking about a different board.  It is the MK4-M4, not the MK3-M4.  They even have screen shots and videos showing MACH4 configuration using the GUI.

What doesn't it support?  I mean, I've already purchased this one so the features it doesn't support would have to be worth something to me.

So I don't have to have multiple power supplies.  How do you provide power to the motion controller if it doesn't work on the same voltage as the drivers? I currently have the WiXHC Mach4 controller that only supports 24v as far as I can tell.

I'm looking for a motion controller that supports MACH4 and has the following features
4-axis
supports 36v or higher
Spindle control
5v output to control stepper drivers

Any suggestions?

Thanx.
