General Mach Discussion / Other interface?
« on: March 18, 2007, 02:37:51 PM »
Hi. I finished my homebuilt cnc machine awhile back and have been using Mach 3 on a regular desktop PC with a parallel port, but I would like to hook it up to my new Dell Laptop i'm buying. The only problem is it doesn't have a parallel port. I'm also using the 3 axis cnc pro driver board from Hobby CNC. Is there any way to use a usb port or would a expansion docking port work ( This uses the laptop's usb port and then has a parallel port, serial,etc.) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
