Acorn Rev 3 vs. Rev 4

Hi there. I am right at the start of my CNC journey, converting an SX2.7L mill here in the UK. I am trying to source an Acorn board from RGB Automatyca in Poland, but they seem to only have the Rev 3 board, and not Rev 4. Is this likley to be a problem for me? Or should I search harder for a Rev 4 board (preferably in Europe so I don't get hit with additional taxes)?

Thanks in advance,

James

There is or was a firm in Denmark selling the Acorn board. I will look for the link.

Thank you for the super fast response and link to an alternative European supplier

Better for you to use the latest Acorn hardware. Improvement/enhancements have been made.

Thanks Marty. I put in an order this morning direct with centroid this morning. I just need to pull my finger out and get on with finishing the bearing blocks and motor mounts

Cool. You should be happier you chose to go with hardware revision 4, Though I use earlier revisions 1,2,3 just fine....
