Am I right in saying that I cannot use a Duet Maestro with external drivers?

@bearer Looks interesting, but when I wonder?

@dc42 When is it anticipated that the CNC version of the board will be available?

@Danal sorry posts crossed.
Just a pity there are no options without onboard drivers.

@Danal I am not worried about the current as I have external drivers, just that I can drive 4/5 motors and will not be short on features. The extra board I mentioned was this one https://e3d-online.com/duet-expansion-header-breakout-board , a breakout not expansion board, appears to have buffered outputs. Only just noticed it doesn't look like it will fit the Maestro as there is no connector for it.

@bearer Current not important as I have external drivers. Just want to make sure that I am not short of anything else.

Hi,
I am in the process of building a cnc router and looking for a control board.
It will initially have 3-axis, and 2 Y motors, so initially 4 in total all using separate drivers.
I might want to add a 4th axis later and also a speed controlled spindle to replace the router.
I would like provision for limit switches etcetera.
I have ethernet close to hand so do not need wifi.
I assume that I would need the small breakout board but which main board would be suitable or best?
