Hello friends, which control board do you recommend for a 3-axis router and spindle, other than a parallel port?
I want to start the manufacture of cnc routers.
keep in mind that I am from Argentina and the economic situation is very bad has to be compounded low cost.
Best rigards.
Rodrigo.

For a simple 3 axis router the parallel port is hard to beat for cost.
A Mesa card is probably about the next cheapest option, but getting them in Argentina might be difficult, and expensive. (I really don't know.)

Thank you Todd for reply.
The parallel port is true. The proble is the motherboards that difficult to get with parallel port, or in their defect PCI-E LPT cards that are not of good quality.
I will try to sell the machines that incorporate the mesa boards.

If you can get them the Mesa 5i25/6i25 are great value and you could then run a couple of cheap bobs off that or a 7i96 Ethernet card.

Have a look here:
store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=produc...rt=p.price&order=ASC
Depending on how much custom hardware you want to use you could look at the 7i92 or the 7i76E. I am suggesting ethernet-connected devices as customers are likely to want to upgrade the PC.
The alternative is to hide a PC motherboard in the box so that they don't realise it is a PC. That tends to avoid the temptation to "upgrade". In that scenario a 5i25 or 6i25 connected to a generic BoB can give very good results.
