I have an old 3 axis K2 stepper machine that uses a parallel port setup that I haven't actually used in years due to family stuff. That's all over with so now I can actually indulge in my hobbies again!
The XP box is really flakey and I'd really like to switch up to newer hardware which means windows 10. I have a USB to Parallel adapter (used for programming atmel chips which I don't do any more) but from what I hear windows 10 just won't do the bit banging the way XP used. I'm also interested in adding a 4th axis so that pretty much dictates a new control setup anyway.
What kind of options do I have to upgrade the control system?
P.S. It'll be run from Mach3.
