Hey guys with regards to this nMotion controller, I have finally found my original emails from when I made the purchase last Oct 2017. I purchased this unit from www.amanmachinery.com. On their Alibaba page... https://wholesaler.alibaba.com/product-detail/HOT-Sale-MACH3-USB-interface-board_60617319093.html?spm=a2700.icbuShop.94.4.609478f2c6Z4cb check out their use of the Artsoft Logo etc. This is why I had originally suspected that the device was endorsed by Artsoft. If not then I stand corrected, but I dont know if there is anything that Artsoft can do about it. Perhaps by registering a dispute with Alibaba, it might stir things up a bit.
At any rate even after this length of time, they still respond to my messages. If anyone on the forum needs a copy of the manual for this please message me and I will gladly send them a copy.
The good news is that this device has been reduced a bit in price. I purchased the 6 axis version last year at $172 US and I think it's now down to about $120.
This device seems to be ok, except that you need the 'usbmove.dll' file, and I am currently waiting for an updated copy from them, in the chance it is newer than what I have. I do have a copy of that file courtesy of the guys on this forum but I havent installed it yet. You will need a 24 volt power supply for this device, so I am now waiting on delivery of one from China, hence the hold up - aside from procrastination.
If anyone is looking for closed loop stepper kits - with the drivers, I also have some links to reputable Chinese companies. These complete kits are appox $90 US - $130 US depending on the motor size. I have 3 motors now in the process of being hooked up. I'll try to remember to post back with my results.
