Hi, I'm am using Mach3 with a stepper controller board using the parallel port and it works great. I'd like to be able to control the controller board from 10 meters away. I was thinking about using some sort of ethernet to parallel port module. Ethernet would be connected to the laptop and parallel port to the stepper controller. Anyone have experience with this? Can you recommend a converter to do this? I want to stay away from changing the controller board.
Would a "TP-Link TL-PS110P" or "StarTech.com 1-Port 10/100 mbps Ethernet Parallel Network Print Server" work?
Thanks,
Denis.
