I am currently controlling 4 steppers (3 axis) with Mach3 and a Gecko G540 via the parallel port. I want to add 2 more axis, 1 for a lathe, and 1 for a rotary table mounted to the router motor.
Any thoughts on how to do this?
I've read that people have problems with PCI parallel ports and I'm not sure Mach will handle 2 parallel ports, well, in parallel, even if it did work. I haven't been able to find anyone in the forums with the same problem although I'm sure others have run into it.
