My name is Ray, I am very new to CNC. I have a hobby workshop that I love to tinker in. I really enjoy working with computers and automation is interesting to me so I decided it would be fun to get a CNC Router and play around with it. I started looking at routers and finally bought a used cnc from a guy in Texas with the promise of tech support. 
Now that I finally got it delivered after a month, I am trying to get it up and running and as you might expect, this guy won't answer calls or return emails. Needless to say I am frustrated. He didn't send me any documentation for the machine. I do not know how it is wired or what the drive controles are, however he did send me a config file for Mach.and said all I had to do is past it in the Mach folder and everything would work. I have done this and when I go into Mach3Mill the screen is blank, except for the very top where it says File, Config, etc. I made a new profile named CNC Router. I can start this up and the screen is not blank but when I put his config file in the Mach folder I get a blank screen. Can anyone please help me figure this thing out?
