Those that it has are a lot more technical that in Mach3 and frankly. Linux CNC is always an option and I have G540 options for it but its pretty thin on instructions. Big statement that one! Seeing as I need to buy one or the other software, I'm asking now for some advice. I've been sent (by the firm that modified the controller) a Mach3 XML file that pretty much only need the XYZ accuracy set to be functional. I'm hoping someone with more experience than me (almost everyone) can tell me that Cut2D is a better or as good as program as Mach3 which is obsolete now. Now the system uses parallel port connection, I'm faced now with deciding which program to buy (or use in the case of LinuxCNC) to complement Vcarve. Odd that they told me the controller had a counterfiet board in it but they licensed their software to it anyway! PayPal to the rescue for a refund. Originally it had USB CNC software from Planet CNC. I'll fix that part easily enough once I decide on the software to send Gcodes to the machine. I've got it back now and after a few teething issues, the machine is working although not accurately. I bought Vcarve a while ago and like it a lot but the Chinese Router I bought went 2000 Klm away to have a Gecko G540, new transformers and a few other parts not up to scratch replaced.
