Thanks you Mark and team for your efforts

 

We need more info.. it's been months! Will this include drivers? will you have to buy control software? Will it support 4 axis? Any tentative dates for next announcement? Been TRYING to hold off buying everything but it's getting hard!

 

I also put my build on hold for almost a year waiting for this apex board. I am sure it will worth the wait.

 

Hi Mark
Will the case come in different colors?

 

I think it has Harry Potters invisibility cloak

 

Anything? One month away from a year.... long wait.

 

I heard it will be ready to ship tommorrow............................








April fools!

 

We must be getting something really good!!!!

 

I can’t wait!!!

 

I mean I will wait, but I can’t wait

 

Great ideas take time. I can feel the anticipation building up. It will be a great day for
openbuilds community when the apex controller make it's arrival. Thank you for all your
effort, time and vision to help us all make better machines.

I second that,can't be easy

 

Hello all. First, I love this community. You all are awesome and a font of knowledge to hackers and makers everywhere! Invaluable. Really, you could charge and I'd still be in. That said...
Why all the secrecy? A business reason? Trade secret? Maybe I'm a bit of a cynic, but... Something this cool, you'd think OB.com would want to document its progress. Like in a BUILD.
Maybe it's not open source. Oh.....

 

They are creating something better to help all of us. Of course there will be secrecy, if they share its development now someone could steal it. They’re working hard on it and deserve to reap any benefits from its creation. After it’s completed they’ll bring it to us. Keep up the good work OB.

 

True that. Just "chompin' at the bit" to get access to it. I can't get enough of the announcement video, though! The model of the controller PCB looks rad! Six channels!

 

I am ready to buy and build my ox with the Apex controller, Want 12 to 20 inches on my Z axis. So I need to beef up the ox and a design change , This is my first build and I will need advice and help. I can be reached at [email protected] Thanks to everyone that can guide this new cnc user on the journey !

 

Wonder how good its gonna be at thwarting EMI / ESD? Watching the concept vid again, and putting AC or coil components (ps, relays, etc.) in with the controller can't be a good idea, can it?

 

Hi fellow apexans? hope all is well.
Will the apex controller have software?
have a great day
