I am thinking about changing my Gatton CNC over from a parallel port and BOB to a usb or ethernet setup. The current setup works but from what I have read I will have smoother control with one of the Mesa boards.
I think that the board that would do this is a Mesa 7I96. It is fairly inexpensive, runs5 axis, and interfaces by ethernet. I am currently running four steppers as X, Y, Z, A on 2.9. Potentially I would like to add a rotary axis so I would just go with a 5 axis board to be future proof. Is the 7i96 the correct choice or should I look at something else? I will be replacing a $20 BOB that is hooked to DM542 drivers.
