Title: Best Way To Run My Machine
Post by: sean.crosbie on November 26, 2020, 01:35:48 PM
Hi, I'm new to cnc and Mach3and have been trying to set up a second hand machine i got from my uncle with no success.
My laptop is windows 10 64bit, will mach3 work with this???
it appears this laptop doesn't have the port that I have seen in videos online???
I have tried to get an older laptop with an older version of windows but to no avail so far, should i keep looking or is there a way to make it work by modifying the control panel???
Would mach 4 be a better choice for me??
Any help would be appreciated as I would love to get this machine working soon.
Images of the set up in the folder below.
 Thank you

your controlbox has a cslab csmio/IP-M Controller. it is controlled via Ethernet

here: https://en.cs-lab.eu/technical-support/download/manuals-firmware-plugin/csmio-series-manuals-and-firmware-plugin/csmioip-m-user-manuals-download/

is a Manual witch Shows, how to connect the Controller to your Laptop. Win10 64bit should be ok.
