Title: Can Mach3 work with 2 plugins?
Post by: juandres666 on March 18, 2012, 02:42:05 PM: I have Mach 3, it is working with AJAX CNC and ethernet plugin. I do know if I can to use the parallel port.

The mach 3 is using AJAX PLUGIN. Can I work with another plugin? I need to use parallel plugin too.

Thanks in advance.

no, because ajax has pcb tarjet for servo motor, my rotary table has stepper motor.
