What board should i get?

[Windlasher (Vincent Watson)]

So two years ago, I bought everything to DIY build a 90w CO2 laser. For personal reasons, everything got put on hold. I bought the power supply, and everything else including a controller from a company – don’t remember, cant find, but they are out of business. I could probably get it to work still but with no support, what’s the point?

I know RUDA CONTROLLERS ARE ALL THE RAGE, but I really don’t want to spend $500 plus new licensing fees for lightburn if I don’t have to.
Are there any GOOD Grbl boards out there for CO2 lasers that don’t cost a fortune and are still supported and what has been your experience with them.
I WOULD LOVE an answer before midnight, so I can decide if I need to upgrade right now. LOL

Apparently it can be done. Pick one of the new 32 bit boards. Here is a link to info that might help. By the way, you waited 2 years, don’t rush a decision now.
