    Help with Novusun NVUM V2 USB control card

    I bought the NVUM v2 Control board in a pakcgae deal with the TB6660 Stepper drivers. These are wired to the 4 Nema 23 Stepper motor on a CNC build similar to the Workbee. I configured everything according to manuals and it was acting like it was losing steps. Mark start point, do a toolpath and when it ends and goes back to Home, it was about 12 mm off on the X axis. Ive since tried to reconfiguire the settings and verified, and verified and Now when I launch Mach3 with the Plugin installed and NVUM powered on, its giving me a message about selecting a BIN file If I dont select one it says upgrade failed and continuers to ask for a BIN file. IN my experience a BIN file would most likely be a firmware flash for the Controller card. Where do I find this, since the Parent site NVCNC.net has nothing like that to download.and the supplier in china Aliexpress (jacky Bulk Man 3d) is Not responding to my email?

    I have had the same problem after six months use started getting load BIN file message. Anyway after much searching found BIN file and loaded it all good again. the BIN file can be downloaded from following link on the Novusun web page. https://www.nvcnc.net/nvum.html Button bottom middle of screen. Or direct link https://www.nvcnc.net/pdf/nvum.bin.rar

    problems or pitfalls? USA Vendors?

    Hi Streumer,
    the NVUM-bin file link above has been broken for a while (404 Not Found). it would be a great help if you have the bin file on google drive or a sure download link! I can't find it anywhere online.
    thank you

    Re: Help with Novusun NVUM V2 USB control card

    Hi,
    if you post on the Mach forum with a NVUM board you will be informed that the company is on the 'Hall of Shame' list for peddling
    pirate Mach3 copies and you will be denied assistance.

    I don't get you Yankees....you have a trade war going on with China claiming they are undermining your economy and yet here you are trying to buy
    this rubbish? You have manufacturers in the US making superb boards with full back-up...yet you want to save a few dollars at American workers
    expense?.

    NVUM, or whatever they call themselves, DO NOT SUPPORT their products, if they've got your money you take 'take a hike' as far as they are concerned.

    Hey guess what you do not need to use the pirated version IF you buy a license. That is what I did and right on their website they tell you that. Show me a USA Made board with USB interface built in?

    Or this https://buildyourcnc.com/item/electr...ach3-USB-Board is it made in USA?

    Re: Help with Novusun NVUM V2 USB control card

    Hi,
    no that board is Chinese made and is absolute junk, even by comparison to the NVUM. See any number of posts on the Mach forum about this board
    and its many clones.....no manufacturer support at all.

    PMDX-412 is a single port USB connected motion controller, US made and supported.

    I would not recommend USB, it is just too noise prone. Get an Ethernet connected board like an ESS, again US made and supported with a dedicated
    forum, Mach3 AND Mach4 compatible. Retails at $180USD so is little more than the NVUM.

    It is cost that a lot look at and the NVUM is very good as far as cost goes I have helped some user's get up and running with these units, most already have Mach3 so are not using the software that comes with it

    They are not junk as you say and are very well made, you obvious have not had your hands on one, electronically challenged user's are always going to say they are junk if they can't get them running and yes in most cases the Ethernet model is the best choice but the USB can be just as good in some situations, the ESS is the only one that is a comparison and user's have problems setting that up as well, with around the same amount of help so it is all about cost more than anything else

    Re: Help with Novusun NVUM V2 USB control card

    I can sum this up in 2 mins.

    The website likely hasn't been updated in last 10 years.
    They never patented the controller.
    The ones you buy now are copies of the original.
    Support does not exist.

    Thanks Mac for chiming in.

    If I have a license for both Mach3 & 4 does that make the board ok to use Craig? I have an industrial rated USB shielded cable I use now on my keyboard with my Mach4 machine and its fine.

    My new machine will not have a spindle or VFD and because of a medical event in my life I have downsized a lot. You do what you need to do.

    The other board I referenced above is sold by a US Distributor with US support, how is that not a good deal?

    Our dear president has pissed off just about everyone in the world including our former allies. The Chinese who now make our pharmaceuticals and medical masks and other supplies are now our enemy, but wait.. now people are dying from a lack of those same supplies. Lets be friends again. Craig, they make all our computers, cell phones, tvs' and yes even MRI machines. etc and other electronics so how can a CNC control board be junk, just because its made in China?

    BTW I am looking at the PMDX series and I may go that route because I would rather run Mach4.

    Well yes according to mactec54, although I don't know whether you will receive any support on the Mach forum.
    It still begs the question why you'd rather support Chinese workers rather than American workers....especially as American manufacturers support their products.
    When it comes to Chinese boards you send an email to China......in a galaxy far far away.

    The other board I referenced above is sold by a US Distributor with US support, how is that not a good deal?
    It may be sold in the US but is made in China and if you can find any manufacturers support ANYWHERE you are doing better than hundreds
    of people on the Mach Forum.

    Craig, the board is supported by a USA seller, did you not see the Link I put up? Yes I am looking at the PMDX 416 as I would like to run Mach4.
    A picture of the board you say is made in China?

    Yes if you want to run Mach4 then you will need one of the other boards both are not always easy to get up and running the smooth stepper is the best choice so far for Mach4 users, the PMDX I have not seen any negative posts about it but there may not be many user's also

    If you did get a NVUM get the Ethernet connect

    What's the name of that board
