Post by: Filch20049 on December 13, 2018, 12:33:26 AM

Hey guys i tried the Mach4 demo and can´t connect to the machine.  ??? Do i need a special plugin or anything else to get it work ??? It is a 6040z with an YOOCNC M3-USB-JB4 ( V2.8 ) controller and is connected via USB. Many thanks in advance!!!
(is the search function of the forum broken? when i try to search im only getting a failure message...)

Hi,
to my knowledge there is no Chinese made USB controller that works with Mach4. XHC have one that they claim works
with Mach4 but it doesn't.

I suspect that your controller will work with Mach3 only....and maybe not even then...Chinese controllers are rather hit and miss.
