I'm not sure if they've figured all this out yet. Another plus, Gui customization. That's my number 1 request, as what they've got currently is no better than Mach3.
Also, do you know if this Darwin board have many more I/O ports? So maybe ATC can be run directly through Mach4 instead of PLC etc.....?
