    No, as Mach3 and BlackBox is in essence the same thing - a motion controller. Except BlackBox comes with all the other electronics onboard too.

    Blackbox has Grbl built into it, which does exactly what Mach3 does (generate step signals)

    It's all built in. Refer to docs:software:overview [OpenBuilds Documentation]

    And watch our Youtube Channel
