General Mach Discussion / USB usage
« on: October 05, 2013, 09:29:29 PM »
I got a CNC machine a while ago and am a licensed user of the Mach software may be a little out of date since I haven't had a lot of time to use it recently and I have a basic question. So don't flame on me if it is too basic or it is a well repeated question. I looked around on the site and a lot has changed and I am wondering my system uses the parallel port for the data transfer from my PC to the CNC machine and I was wondering if it can be to use the USB port instead and if so what does it take to so I was looking at another CNC machine and it has USB on it so I was wondering if I could use the Mach software via just the USB port.
IF so could some one please let me know somewhat in detail exactly what I would need to make this work.
Thank you and I apologize if I am just out of times with the version of this software
