Author Topic: Help required on Converting a RichAuto A51 controlled 3 axis router to Mach3  (Read 818 times)

0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.

Hi,
I inherited a 3 axis CNC router that was originally controlled via a RichAuto A51 hand held control that has failed for the 3rd time.
So, I hope to be able to replace the original control with a PC and Mach3.
I already own a small machine that I produce parts on using Mach3 that is installed on a desktop WinXP machine.
I am conversant with G code programming, tooling etc., but my expertise is almost non existent when it comes to building a control 'from scratch'.
Has anyone the necessary information on how to complete the modification or could perhaps provide me with the necessary links to sources that provide the information?
I have sufficient resources at hand to perform the electrical connections and I'm happy to purchase the details if required.
Many thanks in anticipation of any replies and assistance.
