It does not using it as a motion controller using the parallel port. It will if using a motion controller like smoothstepper.

Gotcha, looked at some stuff discoursed and system requirements cough my attention.
Iām probably going to be custom building a PC for the X-Carve. It all depends on if Apple comes out with a new Mac mini or not in the next month or two. If I build the machine it will be over built (3 Ghz CPU or higher, 16 GB RAM, High end video card with 3 GB RAM, etc, etc ). Thereās a lot of variables here so nothings set in stone, but I will be designing it for tomorrows needs not todays. Like the X-Carve, I donāt plan on replacing this computer anytime soon.
That is the one I was looking at too. How long have you had yours? Any issues?
Excellent! Love the license plate 
Where did you get the electronics cabinet from? Iāll be needing one for the G540.
Thanks. I made the box from plywood and a friend in a sheet metal shop made the front and back plates to my spec. The UC400ETH is in the lower right corner, itās connected to an $11 breakout board and four DQ542MA drivers (all eBay), a MeanWell 48V power supply and in the back a PC power supply for 5V and 12V. I put an emergency stop switch on the panel but found it to be useless so I cabled a second one.
Looks great!
I was just on their site today looking at what they have. How do you like their power supply? Which model do you have? ERP-350-48?
Itās model SP-320-48. I found it while dumpster diving at work. Seems to work fine. Iāve looked at different power supplies since then and MeanWell seems to have a good reputation.

Jim Iāve been doing a lot of comparisons between Mach 3/4 and UCCNC. Iām kind of glad I didnāt go with Mach 4 like I was initially planning. UCCNC is incredible, and for the money it canāt be beat.
Thanks for bringing into my attention
