    Great answer. Thank you! I agree that I'm not a big fan of things left to rot.

    For a CNC router, do you feel UCCNC has general feature parity with Mach 3?

    I have spent several hours going back and fourth between the two. It almost seems as if UCCNC was written to replace Mach 3 (that is just a personal opinion). The features from Mach 3 that I will be using with my router are all present in UCCNC. I can't speak for other machines. The user interface is way better to look at and navigate.

    I can't speak to it from personal experience but the CV performance is supposed to be better in UCCNC. Which is important for cut quality and speed.

    When you start up UCCNC you pick which motion control board you will be using. It then allows the correct configuration of ports and pins. It seems like in Mach 3 it only allows the standard LPT port configuration (inputs=[10-13, 15], outputs=[2-9, 14, 16, 17])??

    I'm excited to compare the two and report what I can.

    Looking forward to your findings. In the mean time, I guess I have some learning to do. Thank you.
