If I buy a campbell parallel breakout board will you give me some pointers on how to get my set-up working? Did you build your own Gecko drive box or buy a pre-built one like those from Denver controllers?...

Thanks for the info it's very helpful. Can you tell me who's stepper drivers you used or did you get yours from Markus? I'll check out the yahoo wabeco group as well but I'll reserve my comments on Markus and MDA (his company) for now - I know him and I bought this machine from him.

I have the manual that came with the machine but it's in broken English (German) nut there is quite a bit of detail in there...

I have a new Wabeco F1210E (high speed) 3 axis mill. I’m not sure if it has stepper or servo motors. I also have a motor control box that accepts input from a PC serial port. The thing came with NCCAD6 which barely functioned and I upgraded to NCCAD7 that is marginally better (unless perhaps, if you speak German).

I'd like to swap out NCCAD for Mach3 and save my motor control box and just substitute Mach3 for NCCAD on the PC. Can nayone offer guiadance on how to make this set-up work or is the Wabeco control box too proprietary?...Scott
