Is the plug-in for the G-Rex and Mach3 still in development? Is it going to be developed to the full potential of the G-Rex ($400). I bought one because I'm not getting good pulse stream from my PC and don't want to start "swapping" PC's trying to find one that will work. And if I can get it to work I can use it on my 64 bit Windows XP computer that won't load the Mach3 driver. Or maybe from a Wintel Mac.
I like Gecko products, and some of the future things Mariss is working on sound very cool. BUT, if the G-Rex isn't going to be fully supported by Mach3, it might be an expensive breakout board.
I've read that Gecko isn't going to develop it any further. I've also read that there is a new servo stepper driver that will hook up to the G-Rex and make the unstallable stepper driver, that's what I'm sort of waiting for. But it still needs signals from Mach. I would eventually like to control a spindle (tapping) and such if possible which I understand doesn't work right now, will it?
thanks,
Monte
