Hello, I'm new here and new to the world of CNC.

I've just got my hands on a CNC, it's a 6040 Chinese one. I got it 2nd hand off ebay.

It has a parallel port on the back of it, and I don't have anything that will run that. I'd like to know if this planetCNC product https://planet-cnc.com/product/cnc-u...r-mk34-4-axis/ Will solve my problems?

My set up is:

Apple Macbook with USB3 (The wife wants to use illustrator and then export as DXF)

6040 CNC with Parallel Port.

But we have 2 issues:
1 - Software - I see planetCNC works for Mac, big tick.
2 - Middleware signal conversion

Any help would be greatly appreciated please
