General Mach Discussion / very technical question for mach3 developers
« on: January 09, 2010, 09:26:12 AM »
Hi everybody
I hope somebody can help me with this.
As I understand Mach 3 is the software which reads code (previously generated by some other software, I am using VisuallMill) and controls the stepper motors.
But you need the controle box which reads signal from mach3(on pc) and gives the power and signal to stepper motors.
So this controle box of mine (made by Isel Germany) had broken down. Isel does not want to fix it since they stopped producing this model in 2008. As I had the box looked by some other people they told me that the power part is ok. The only thing I need to change is the chip in the box which is responsable for correctly reading and delivering the signal (not the RS232 one). Of course the chip is not expensive (some 15 usd) but the program that is on it, is obviously defective.
So my question is. Is there a program that I could put on the new chip and it would then read the mach3 software I would put on the pc (windows maschine) and I'll be a happy man again.
