Suitable single board computers for UCCNC?

Postby mikkokui » Mon Nov 15, 2021 4:12 pm

I have read that Raspberry 4 could be powerful enough to run UCCNC but Raspberry isn't suitable for Windows. Is there any other "super-mini" PCs SBS available that could handle UCCNC? UDOO was one option but seems to be hard to buy these days. Trying to keep operating PC as small as possible, tired of using laptops etc. with CNC projects. First I was looking for MASSO controller but seems that UCCNC is much better choice.

Amazon have several “mini pc” options that should meet UCCNC requirements, with case sizes less than 6”x6”x2”.

I have been using a similar device to this for my CNC machine together with the ETH300 and UCCNC for both a mill and laser, worked flawlessly for the last 4 years and continues to do so.
Fanless Axon Mini PC Stick, Intel Apollo Lake Processor Series 33 Windows 10 Pro 4 GB RAM + 64 GB eMMC Support 4K HD, 2.4/5G WiFi, BT 4.0 on EBay

I even use a USB to ethernet converter as the Stick PC does not have ethernet natively in addition I'm using a USB to RS 485 converter to control the spindle motor via modbus. The unit is very small plugs into the back of the monitor that is attached to the machine.
