Have decided to convert my LMS3990 to CnC, and need some experienced advise.
Have been researching for nearly 5 months now on what will be required.
Finding a retro kit for the ball screws was the worst, have narrowed that down to a kit from cnc conversion for the Sied x2d, I have redesigned the Z axis attachments and will be making them this weekend. What I'm hung up on is the control side of things, so many options/kits/manufactures... my brain is boggled / confused/ sore from deciding, so thought I would ask
I will be using Fusion for the Cad/Cam
I want to use Mach4 hobby, or should I just stick with Mach3?
I'm hung up on whether to go for the WixHC Mach4, or the Warp9 ESS ?
Not sure what is also required for each, as they don't state it to freely.
I don't need Tonnes of inputs/outputs, basically the option for a 4th axis down the road, limit switches,
Stepper kit/drivers I'm looking at using is:

Any insight at this time is appreciated, don't want to order stuff that won't work together after I've spent hours trying to get it to work,

Many thankx in advance
Randy
