Looking for hardware advice

[rowka]

Building a new machine. Current machine is uc300eth-5lpt with a C10s, G540.

I really like ger’s 2017 screenset, so compatibility is a must.

Parameters:
4 gecko 201x drivers
Hard E stop
Software e stop
4 homing switches (dual drives on y gantry)
2 probe inputs (actually 3, but UCCNC only supports 2).
Feed hold.
Cycle start.
Activate relays for router and dust collection on-off.
Ultimately a 2.2kw VFD spindle (no idea yet what kind of i/o those require).
Ultimately a laser (again, no idea what kind of i/o those require).
12v or 24v on inputs would be nice for noise immunity, but I don’t know if actually necessary.
I’m fine with keyboard jogs.


I’m thinking my options are UC300eth with:
5lpt and w two C10s bobs
Cncroom ub1, maybe with ud1, but probably not needed.
CNC4pc C76

Thoughts?

I would find it hard to go past the AXXB-E

24v capable.
It has an extra LPT compatible port if more IOs are needed.
Modbus would always be my first choice for VFD control.

I have given that a lot of consideration. But as far as I can tell, it’s not compatible with the earlier UCCNC versions 47? 49? That currently work with ger’s 2017 screen set.

I would not base my decision on my 3 year old screenset.
I hope to have a new screenset in the next few months.
