I&#8217;m doing a gut and rebuild on an old stratasys machine and am shopping for the best controller. I will most likely be using external stepper drivers (going to go with much bigger motors than 2A), so that&#8217;s not really an issue. I need a lot of inputs and outputs, and both seem to have what I need. I like the LCD option(s) for the Duet, but am not thrilled at the WiFi only, as I&#8217;d rather it be ethernet. Any thoughts, or are both perfectly good options?EDIT: I should probably add the MKS SBASE boards on there as well. They apparently run Smoothieware and cost roughly 1\/3 of the others. http:\/\/ift.tt\/2dJLMEr<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which controller is the &#8216;best&#8217; out there right now?
