For example, O<Program#> will prompt the user to enter in a program number. We all know that. I'd like to include...

Does anyone have any experience with the Planet CNC MK2 control? What, if any, issues have you faced? How was the software? Any input is greatly appreciated!

I'm imagining a build where I need up to 4 stepper motors for linear control, up to 4 relays for AC motor control, and 4+ relays to control miscellaneous functions (i.e. air solenoids), and I want to...

A couple things:
-What kind of tool/nose radius are you using?

What issues are you having, if I may ask?

Can you use the card slot?
