SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / Quick question before buying
« on: November 23, 2017, 05:40:57 PM »
Until my computer died I had been running Mach3 with a UBOB from CandCNC.
I'll be buying a new computer and with it I plan on using Mach4 with a PMDX 416 as the motion controller and a PMDX 134 for my G201X Gecko stepper drives.
My question is is there anything else that I need that I might have overlooked? I hate ordering stuff, waiting for it to arrive only to find that I forgot something .
My machine is a 3 axis router and has an X-axis gantry w/ 2 slaved motors and also the usual limit & home switches..
The only spindle control I need is on/off.
I will also need an input to be able to use a tool setter which has an 2N26 opto-isolator as an output.
Thanks.
