General Mach Discussion / my first retrofit with mach3, please help
« on: May 11, 2006, 05:36:59 PM »
New to the forum and retrofitting.
I have Dyna 2800 with control I can’t handle; downloaded demo version of Mach 3 and it looks much friendlier than Dyna original.
Watched few times videos and read as much as I could, but don’t know what is my next step.
I have a wiring diagram for the machine, and for example on X driver board there are contacts DIR and STEP. Do I just connect them to corresponding pins on printer port of the PC or I need to install something in between?
