hello. you do not need to buy the ajax/centroid license to setup the cnc controller for use with mach3. you do use the centroid software to setup all the hardware as outlined in the manual. as it is easier to use the centroid software to setup the hardware. all systems ship with a "demo code&qu...

i put together this block diagram to demystify DC servo motor power generation and use with the Centroid Allin1Dc. see attached PDF.

fyi.. link to latest allin1dc install manual.

Bardac makes a pretty good DC motor controller several centroid retrofitters have used them in the case where a machine has a DC motor and is too cost prohibitive to refit with an AC motor.
