    If it's a halfway decent laptop, it shouldn't be a problem at all.

    No, the Smoothstepper is Mach3 only.
    For UCCNC, you want a UC400ETH or UC300ETH.

    Thanks for the heads up.
    I cant find your old post , but I thought you had posted one for UCCNC . It was the post where you did a nice job of shortening all the jumpers that go to the board beneath it .
    i have to start studying again , as I’m forgetting all my terminology
