It's confusing trying to address your problems and answers in someone else's thread when identically named hardware sourced from China can be very different electronically.Īdditionally you didn't say what spec your PC was and Windows 10 doesn't do parallel port, neither do any other 64 bit versions of Windows. Inside the control box are the following boards:- JP-382C, JP-1482 and JP-1635ĭon't take this the wrong way but don't butt in, start your own Thread. It is black in color with an angled front panel which has two power switches (Main Power and Spindle) with a rotary pot to control spindle speed and finally a big red emergency stop button - if that description helps. So do you think it would be possible for my machine to run MACH3 via USB? My Control Box for my CNC is labelled as T-D Axis Controller. I couldn't control anything on the CNC using MACH3 so I went back to using the USB CNC software that came with my CNC Machine via USB. I went through the setup like all the videos were showing and in the MACH3 settings where you configure your PINS for the Parallel Cable, I only ever got one or two green indicators working and nothing I did would make it work. I purchased a parallel cable but I could not get Mach3 to work.
My CNC3040 was sold as a USB CNC but the control box still has a parallel port on the back. When I try and use it as bidirectional I have to tell the computer everytime I power the pc up that I want it to be used in a certain way. I installed it as instructed and for a normal printer port this my work fine but in the description it says ecp, epp,bidirectional. In all the videos I've watched, they all use a Parallel cable between the MACH3 PC and the CNC Control Box. This was supposed to be a 2nd port for a cnc machine project. Sorry to butt in on your thread but I own a USB CNC3040T and I've tried to get MACH3 to run it but I've never had any success.
