Hi. I bought a used Syil X4 which came with a PC running windows 8.
It has one parallel port and a serial port, plust USB.
The machine came with a CandCNC hand controller, and some kind of a adapter board.
Please see photo below.
I can't identify the board, and I'm not sure how to hook it up.
The PC has one parallel port being used to hookup my mill.
I don't know if this adapter board requires a 2nd parallel port to use it.
I don't mind adding a 2nd port, but I'd like to use the 2nd port for other things too, like limit switches.
Does anyone know what this board is and how it's meant to be used?
Can it be used in a "pass through" mode to allow other pins to be used for other things?
Any help would be great.
Thank you,
Bryan
