    New Machine Blues

    Hello boys. Just got my K2cnc 2514, a couple of questions. First, on the control box there's two connection points one is a std. printer cable type and one is USB. I can easilly see where the printer cable goes, but where does the USB go, to the USB port on the computer also. Connect both? I don't need another component do I? This electronics stuff numbs my mind. Once I get it straight I'll be OK. HELP !!!!!!!

    Hello,
    I had the same question as whether to connect both the usb and the printer cable. They told me to connect both because the printer cable tells it what to do and the usb just supplys a small amount of power, something like 5 volts or something.
