Repetier Host vs Mach3

Post by jbinion »

Hi, I am using Mach3 with my H-1, but was wondering if I may want to switch to Repetier Host for control? The newer printers/controllers all seem to be arduino based and if I do decide to build a delta printer in the future I will need to change. Will it work since I am using a parallel TB6560 based board?
Thanks

No, it won't work. TO switch to HR you will also need to switch to an Arduino based controller like RAMBo or RAMPS.

NEVER MIND... I guess I should have read the documentation first.
Anyone got a used Arduino based board for cheap? lol
