Try both, you can have as many configurations as you like.
And do report back what you like better, and/or if you find bugs.
Thank you.

Ok will do! I did a quick configuration with the mesa tool, and tried to open it with pncconf but it couldn't open it, so I was a bit confused if they are the same thing. Is the mesa tool supposed to do the same thing?

PncConf = developed by CMorley, included with LinuxCNC, easy to use for something that has to deal with thousands of different configuration options.
MCT = developed by BigJT, not yet included, easy to use, has also options for flashing the Mesa boards and some other stuff.
Both are used for making a usable configuration for LinuxCNC, both have a lot of work done by the developers and members here, and both are magnificent at what they do as it would be impossible for new users to make a configuration for thousands and thousands of different machines/controllers in use with LinuxCNC.

Ok makes sense. I appreciate the help. I cant even begin to imagine the work that went into any of this.
