CNC-USB (PlanetCNC)

I know Hank has the 9 axis mark 2 version of this board from Planet CNC, anyone else using it / tried it / thinking of trying it / got a view on the advantages or otherwise with this type of approach?

Apologies for reviving an old thread but did you get the 9 axis controller?

Anyone got any experience with this controller and software?

I have just placed an order for a MKII 9 axis board.
I let you know how I get on when it arrives.

Well after about 18 months of usage, I still think it's a great bit of software...very clean GUI, nicely thought our features & a dynamic responsive creator at the helm. My only criticism is that the documentation doesn't keep up with the new features, but a quick question on the forum always has a satisfactory outcome.

I have a interest in this system too, mainly because of the SDK (Software Developers Kit) it's just a pity the SDK hasn't been developed for the MK2 controllers as they could have made a very good base for developing other types of multi axis machines.

Apologies for reviving this old thread again but I have just jumped in and bought the Planet CNC MK3 9 Axis board. The SDK is now fully supported on the MK3 boards so it'll be great to have a play around with this controller/software. I'll be using it for a small Wire Bending machine project I have planned.
