I’m using a cheap Dell desktop computer dedicated to my CNC. I have a UC100 USB CNC motion controller driving my G540. One word of cation; don’t let yourself get suckered into the cheap knockoffs They will not work. Go to cncdrive.com/uc100. Expect to pay about $100.00. My system has yet to fail.
Since my older PC kicked the bucket, I thought I'd possibly upgrade to another PC-CNC setup that eliminates the parallel port.? Thought I'd ask and see what everyone else was using - likes and dislikes?
I'm using a G540, and have really enjoyed it, I'd like to continue to use it, but not sure it's possible and move forward.
