Title: Interface bwteen the parallel ports and Servo motors
Post by: ericma on August 17, 2006, 03:43:34 PM

Friends:
I need a breakout board to interface the parallel port and Yaskawa servo motors (Amplifiers).

I am working on a project of 5 axis CNC router.
Is any commercial breakout board available?

Thanks

I don't know his number :( But any of the breakout boards ahould work.. you just need to have two of them :) you can set up a second port in Mach and it will use the same hardware :o

PMXD has a nice setup as well as cnc4pc

Hope that helps
Brian
