Can we use both and ESS and SmartBob?

[korbindallas]

We have a controller at our Maker collective in Sebastopol California with all PMDX components:
PMDX179 INT
PMDX 126
G203V (4)
PMDX134
PMDX411

It also has a Warp9 ESS board installed but apparently it was decided to switch to USB connectivity with the SmartBob so members with laptops and no Ethernet ports could bring their own Mach4 instances to the router. Not a great idea but that's past history.

We'd like to switch back to using the ESS board and the question is whether we can actually have both options available, understanding that we'll have 2 Mach4 profiles.

Thanks

You could do this by swapping the input cable for the PMDX-126 from the PMDX-411 to the ESS. Yes you would need two profiles with matching machine configurations.
