Re: Mach3 on computer with Parallel port & windows 10.
|
Hi Jim, MACH3 doesn’t work with Ethernet to parallel port dongles.? The way it does stepping and reading encoders doesn’t with that model. ? I’m using USB SMoothstepper but it’s not recommended for new designs and there may not even be a driver for WIN-10.? Instead the Ethernet Smoothstepper is a better choice.? But since the smooth steppers came out more than 10 years ago there are a lot more similar types of units.? The main thing is they do the stepping pulses and high speed work under direction from MACH3.? A parallel port dongle is not the same thing. ? John ? ? ?

I’m loudly like to stay with windows 10 if possible, just for the fact XP & 7 are obsolete already & 10 have a little more support left in it. I found this on amazon… Attachments:
