Mach4 General Discussion / External Motion Controllers.
« on: May 14, 2020, 03:53:41 PM »
Good day to everyone,
My name is John (Gargle) a semi retired 72yr old mechanical engineer. I have a small CNC router similar to an X Carve that I constructed from a kit . I run it via GRBL 0.8 and also through Easel (Inventables). Would either of these be considered to be a suitable external motion controller to utilize Mach 4 Hobby? If not, any suggestions as to what I should use would be greatly appreciated. Also, advice on a suitable Mach 4 plugin device.
Easel works well but lacks full 3d ability in its current form.
I have designed a much larger machine, currently still on the drawing board, so it is important to me to select the right devices that will ultimately run this machine correctly with Mach 4 as well.
Best Regards,
Gargle.
