The next version of the USC / UPC boards will have ribbon cable connections for most of the terminals, probably an either/or option. I am going to make some axis interface boards that get rid of most of the hand wiring in the control boxes. So, the encoders and home and limit switches would be wired from one board to the other by ribbon cables. The interface board would have place for optional differential line receivers for the encoders. Without the diff receivers, these interface boards would be pretty cheap, they would just have connectors on them, no circuitry.
