Hello,

I was intending to use an Ethernet Smooth Stepper motion controller for my Mach3 CNC table so that I can use a more modern laptop computer which I have two spare. I was advised to use the ethernet version rather than the USB version of the Smooth Stepper motion controller on a plasma machine because of the better shielding against RFI and that they are a lot quicker than USB. Having said all that I was advised to check that fact, so do you guys have any experience with Ethernet Smooth Stepper motion controllers and CNC Plasma machines. I'd like to be 100% sure before I spend the $300 AUD on that Ethernet Smooth Stepper motion controller as I can't afford to make a dumb mistake, which I am quite good at doing.

Any help will be apprecited.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
