General Mach Discussion / Convert to Mach3 from DeskCNC
« on: February 21, 2015, 10:41:16 AM »
Hi all, newbie here in need of some assistance!

About a month ago I was given a CNC router setup.  It is a IMService 121204 that runs on DeskCNC.  Through my research and attempted set up I have found that the machine itself seems adequate for a beginner like me just getting his feet wet, but the software is quite the opposite.  I've also found that support or any info whatsoever is nonexistent for this software and the manual is a joke (probably why it was given to me).  So I would like to convert my machine to run on Mach.  The problem is that the DeskCNC controller board runs from a 9 pin serial port.  As you know Mach requires a parallel port.  I have a computer with a parallel port and have downloaded the demo of Mach3, I just can't get the proverbial square peg to plug into a round hole!  I have no problem paying for Mach I just need to know that I can get it to work with my setup.

So for my question.  How can I convert my DeskCNC router to run from Mach3?

Any info would be great!

Thanks!
