Hi, complete noobie here. I have tried to search myself but came up confused. Can you use the Open Builds Control software using a mach 3 controller? I have read that you can use Mach 3 software on the blackbox. So is it the same opposite? If not, is there a plugin yet to run mach 4 software on mach 3 controllers? Thank you for any help.
Not sure where you read that, but no, see the FAQ: OpenBuilds BlackBox 4X Documentation To run BlackBox you can use any GRBL HOST SOFTWARE, for example, OpenBuilds CONTROL from software.openbuilds.com, or bCNC, CNCjs, UGS2, and many more To run a Mach based controller you can use Mach or LinuxCNC
