    Which breakout board to use with G203V and Mach3?

    Well it's been a long time coming but I've started to buy the Gecko 203v drives and I have Mach 3 loaded,.... now what breakout board to buy? I've been looking at the CNC4PC, C11G and the C1G but I'm not sure which one would work best with the 203V. I'm also considering the Campbell board. Any suggestions?

    I went with the C11G BOB and the A4 power supply. I'm not using all the features of the board YET, but plan to later. Right now I'm only using the 'charge pump' and E-stop, but plan on setting up the relay switch to turn on coolant and the motor control switch.

    Cheers,
    Jack

    I got the C11G as well. Nice board.

    The cheaper board is almost the same but without the safety charge pump. I'd get the safety charge pump if you plan on leaving the machine unattended.
