Best Way To Run My Machine
« on: November 26, 2020, 01:35:48 PM »
Hi, I'm new to cnc and Mach3and have been trying to set up a second hand machine i got from my uncle with no success.
My laptop is windows 10 64bit, will mach3 work with this???
it appears this laptop doesn't have the port that I have seen in videos online???
I have tried to get an older laptop with an older version of windows but to no avail so far, should i keep looking or is there a way to make it work by modifying the control panel???
Would mach 4 be a better choice for me??
Any help would be appreciated as I would love to get this machine working soon.
Images of the set up in the folder below.
 Thank you

your controlbox has a cslab csmio/IP-M Controller. it is controlled via Ethernet

here: https://en.cs-lab.eu/technical-support/download/manuals-firmware-plugin/csmio-series-manuals-and-firmware-plugin/csmioip-m-user-manuals-download/

is a Manual witch Shows, how to connect the Controller to your Laptop. Win10 64bit should be ok.
anything is possible, just try to do it.
if you find some mistakes, in my bad bavarian english,they are yours.
