    Question Dual Break out boards

    I am looking to add a rotary axis to my 4 x 8 Vortech CNC router. Question is this, I have another BOB, can I add another port to my PC & Mach 3 read the two boards as one? If not then I will get a new BOB.

    Mach3 can use two ports, with two separate breakout boards.
