General Mach Discussion / Re: USB output board instead of printer board

Well... I can tell you that I have run a file from my laptop, talking over skype AND changing screens all at the same time with NO trouble... It is working as well as the printer port and may have a few goodies if they can fit them in... Beta testing is about to start on the device and will be out as soon as it passes all the testing. The Firmware is also downloaded from the plugin when it connects so the trouble of updating the FPGA code is GONE! I must say that this is the best device that I have ever used but only time and beta testing will tell us how it will truly work.

That is about all I can tell you for now

Thanks
Brian

You need to run a Driver test and have a look at the optimization file (on the downloads page)...

I think you need to go to MSconfig and disable all the programs at startup...

Hope that helps

Open your macro pump code in the editor and single step the code... Do you get any errors?

Also please be sure that you have the code in the proper profile.

Thanks

There is a board that will do 4MHz and works over USB

it is in testing now and seems to be working VERY well! Here is a pic of the first 3D cut ...

I think the price is about 150-175 for the device and it is Plug and play with an existing install of Mach3 (You can use the same XML and you plug in the 25 PPort cable)
