Short history and about. I am new to CNC machines. I have three-five years before retirement and an unemployed partner. Hence starting something new for now and future plans. I bought the unit used locally and from what I can figure out its probably 10 years old now. Manually it runs fine but I have not run a program on it yet still setting up.The unit came with an old PC and old unregistered software. I am trying to upgrade all that. First step was a newer computer and the Mach3 package. The tests on the PC shows it works great. Now I have to figure out which pin out to use. Like so many other people have said documentation is nonexistent. Does anyone have any experience in doing this any help would be appreciated.
Attached is a photo of the breakout board. Even an idea of what wires are what would be a help. I have an electronics back ground and lots of trouble shooting experience with a Fluke meter but hoping to save my self allot of time crawling around under my machine in -30C weather
