I am in the process of replacing a control board on a CNC router. I cannot stress this enough, making the machine rigid is your # 1 priority, period. 3axis type with Mach3 software Parallel Port interface cnc router directly from China Woodworking Machinery Suppliers. In the end, I will probably be around $350 in just steel. Pins 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15 are pulled up with a 10K resistor and are. USB CNC controller: Win 10, Win 8Win 7Win xp. Refer to the Hobb圜NC PRO manual for details. USB CNC controller: two kinds of softwares, only USB CNC software when use the USB interface (ChinaCNCzone provide USB CNC software for free.), but when use parallel port with computer, only mach 3 software. Bottom line, if you want to get through anything more than MDF at any speed over a crawl, build the crap out of the machine. Power Reduction can be enabled (Active High). I am actually going to go for 3/8 thick if I can afford it. I am now upgrading to 3x2 box tube and 2 1/2 angle -all at 1/4" thick.
As a point of reference, I made mine out of steel (1x2 box and 1 1/2 angle) and it is nowhere near as rigid as I need. Also, if you think it is strong/rigid enough, triple it. Read every forum and blog you can find and then read them all again. In this episode, we will show you how to wire the output of Arduino (pins) running GRBL to connect to a parallel port driven CNC machine such as the Probotix.
I am just starting the second version of my CNC and I can tell you that there are about 1000 things you have not thought of yet. You need a full-size PC with a real parallel port. This is in most cases more economical than trying another computer.You cannot run a CNC through a laptop with a usb/parallel converter -It simply will not work. In order to help out those having problems with parallel signal strength, Sherline has developed an amplifier to boost the signal strength. This has not been a problem with any computers sold by Sherline-only when connecting the Sherline driver box to a computer with a parallel port of unknown quality. A symptom that occurs when this happens is that one or more stepper motors may suddenly change direction, run in only one direction or act erratically in other ways. Also, the signal may decrease with the age of the computer or when it gets overheated. Signal output through the parallel port on computers should be about 3 volts, but some poorly made cards and connectors may put out only a marginal signal. However, it has recently come to our attention that some users of our 8760 driver box are having problems when using them with their own computer. That is why we use a 25-pin parallel port to transmit the information rather than a serial port like USB. In order to get sufficiently fast and glitch-free throughput to run all four axes of a CNC system at the same time, multiple wires are needed.
