Hi All.
I know there is a MASS of information and posts about these cheap Chinese tables and yes...They are pretty shonky but hey ho. You play the cards your dealt.
I bought one a few years ago and promptly moved house soon after delivery and forgot all about it. Recently i tried to get it going and stumbled accross a few issues (the biggest one was i had to build a PC with serial port!).
I have the "free" bundled Mach3 software but for some reason it will not communicate with the driver at all. It connects but no instructions get through.
I was wondering if these kits from Aliexpress would do to replace what i think is a faulty Serial connection on my driver (i know almost zero about serial stuff and USB is so much simpler)

If not...Can anyone recommend a cost effective (CHEAP!) driver kit that works simply. I am a complete Noob to CNC (well i have use of a LPKF router at work but thats simple plug and play compared to this). I dont have much to spend on this and have a few things i would like to make with the machine. If its too much money or hassle....It will probably be forgotten or scrapped.
Cheers chaps
