Hi I have a planet-cnc mach 3/4 controller which has fried up in a recent thunderstorm. I was looking for an alternative and saw this USB CNC controller: https://www.robotshop.com/ca/en/usb-ethernet-cnc-controller-pokeys57cnc.html

Is this controller able to drive my 4 axis cnc which has PoStep 25-32 stepper controllers (https://buildyourcnc.com/item/electronicsAndMotors-electronic-component-driver-PoStep25-32).

Also, does this controller come with a software? Or is it compatible with planet-cnc software?
