[Emc-users] Support for 6 axis

[Alan]

Hi,
I have upgraded my machine to support movement on 6 axes. So now I have 
to upgrade the electronics from 4 to 6 axis. I currently use a 4 axis 
breakout board and have seen some chinese 6 axis breakout boards 
advertised on ebay. Does anyone have any experience with these 
regardining reliability usefulness etc?  As an alternative I am thinking 
of getting a mesa 5i25 + 2 7i78 daughter cards would this be the better 
option?

thanks

Alan

No experience, but I they will use all the output pins, so nothing
left for spindle control or similar.

More expensive, but a lot more capable.
