Does anyone know if mach3 willl work with a cnc masters jr mill? i know they use a usb plug in, but why wouldn't a usb to paralell adapter work in this case, to allow mach 3 to work with their controler?
It's not a real big deal, just that everyone tells me how bad their( cnc masters)software is, i haven't tried it yet, but i'm use to mach3.
Any suggestions are appreciated. I've already looked at another board with the 220 relay for the spindle motor, just that i wasn't sure how i'd deal with the inverter to the relay. i guess what i'm tryingto say is, i 'm stuck when it comes to the 220 wiring, eventhough, i've located the relay and breakout board, but the curve with the inverter threw me.
My original plan was to build a new controller using the geckos that are in this one, except , i'd change out the caps and the transformer, add heavier wiring, and wire in a star pattern..
i'd like to just fire it up the way it is and see what happens, but i want alternatives, like maybe using mach 3 and , i'm still wondering if the usb to paralell cable would work.
thanks
