Sad to see that Grex is all but gone

I brought two Grex's when they first came out an loved them, i found out that Gecko have stopped selling them due to the difficulty of setting them up. all of that firmware IP address information can be a bit to much for most.

I work for a n ISP here in New Zealand, i mainly build both wired and wireless networks and so found setting the Grex up pretty straight forward. (Yes i do have it running on wireless).

I am 100% sad to see that controllers build for the future not the past like the Grex have fallen into the to hard basket. I cannot stress how much of a quantum leap controllers over IP (network) are. I am frustrated with the fact that CNC controllers seem to be stuck in this "parallel port" operation. I take solace in the fact that more and more computers are no longer coming out with parallel ports on board.

Not a very useful thread i know, i guess i am saying i eagerly await the return of the Grex. Poor old Gecko built the thing 10 years to early.

I think if you contact them they may still sell them to existing customers.

Yes they have said that, as long it is not for general consumption there will be limited or no development.

Such a shame.
