    Looking for a Good Ethernet Connected Motion Controller

    After a few years of frustrating use my PMDX USB controller for my CNC router finally gave up the ghost. It was always a chore to get it to connect and I am using Mach4. Very poor choice for me going to USB after using a Warp9 ethernet one on my long gone 4x4 machine.
    Thinking of going this route as its all on one board AXBB-E Ethernet Motion Controller and Breakout Board Combined Motion Controller Unit.I do have a chance to buy a used Warp9 board also but that involves a BoB more space in my smaller control box. Anybody have a used controller for sale or suggestions?

    I chose the ESS but don't recall how much space it takes up. Seems like there's an accessory board that goes on top of it so the footprint remains the same as just the ESS board by itself.

    Not compatible with Mach4 and my existing setup.

    You use their CNC 12 software. Take a look at these.

    Finally after a weeks delay and a email to them, its shipped. I think I have the changeover figured out and for a older person who does this like, maybe every 4 or5 years it will allow the thinker tool a little work out! At least its a USA seller and I don't have to call to some place in China.
