Got this Spectralight 0200 set up on e-bay... thought this would be fun for my first CNC to start learning with and making some small stuff from aluminum and wax and such.
Now the guy I bought this from swore up and down that you didn't need a proprietary card from Spectralight to control this thing. That it could be controlled through the printer port alone. So where does this thing go?!?
And if what he says is right, where should I get the software for controlling this through the printer port connection (which there is one to the controller). And another thing, if you can control this thing through the printer port alone, why would spectralight go to the expense of another cable?!? This is my first CNC so if someone could hold my hand with this until I get it up and running, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!
