![]() ![]() There is also the UC100 USB to parallel port adapter which looks like it does the same thing as the SS, is easy to install, and uses Mach3. I have noticed that the Chinese have copied these USBCNC boards and sell them on eBay pointing you to Planet CNC to download his software. At a quick look, to a newbie, their software possibly looks a little 'simpler' to understand than Mach3, could be wrong though. I imagine they offer a similar performance enhancement to the SS boards, although they use their own controller proprietary software and not Mach3. Eugene mentioned to me a company, Planet CNC, that make the USBCNC (and Ethernet) controller boards. It appears that in the G540 we have the finest motor drivers available, but that they are being driven by a less than perfect pulse stream generated by the parallel port. I am pretty sure that is what Eugene would be telling me anyway I am probably thinking too much about all this stuff at the moment though, and should really start to cut a few things first. I am glad to say that is what I hoped/expected to hear. ![]()
