So most of your breakout boards have either the DB25 parallel port by itself or with an optical coupler. Now my question is since the breakout board needs a parallel connection from the board to the computer can you use a converter that switches the DB25 to USB and still have the same functionality as if it was DB25 to DB25? or would it be beneficial to get an adruino board and make my own self contained system with a monitor for programming the CNC Router? If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
