    Mach 3

    I am new to the cnc world, long story short I am having problems setting up my mach 3 to communicate with my board. I believe the breakout board is a one purchased from cncforpc maybe. Automation Direct steppers and drives, any advice would be helpful, I sort of inherited this project so it is uncharted territory for me. Thanks!

    Re: Mach 3

    Start with what board you have.
    Does it plug into the parallel port, or usb or etherenet?
    What version of windows are you using? Is it 64 bit?
