I am considering to upgrade my CNC mill from Mach3 to Mach4. A major reason is that all of my computers with a parallel port are dying off. Currently I am using a G540 with Mach3.
Are there any "proven" methods for G540 to Mach4 connection? What is the minimum needed?
I've been to SmoothStepper and CNC4PC with no definitive answers.
Are there downsides to using PMDX PMDX-411 via USB to the G540?
Same question as PMDX, what about CNC4PC UC100 USB Motion Control?
Steve.
