Hey guys and girls.
Been a member here fora bit now but not used my cnc for a long time as my pc died and the replacement doesn't have a parallel port.
The problem is my Chinese 3040 cnc only has a parallel connection
Can i just replace the control board with a usb model?
I have seen them on ebay for about £15 but don't want to waste money if its not going to work or at worst damage my machine.
Now my machine came with all the settings for motor setup etc would this be different also or would mach 3 be fine as it is if i replaced it with a £15 usb board.
Thanks for any help or advice.
