I have a simple but maybe hard question. This controller is very outdated and i need something simple like the Mach 3 or something. Am i able to keep the motors and motor controllers (pacific scientific) and just use a cheap mach3 compatible board ? Or do i need to change motrs and controllers as well. The motors works i can move them while doing the "jog" function on the pendant.
Any help appreciated

Better change all the motors and drivers and contoller to new ones, to get the best performance, and best compatibility.
Old items with new items could be many problem.
