Change from Syntec 6MD to Mach 4?
« on: February 27, 2024, 01:36:38 PM »
Hi all! It's been a while since I've been here.
A buddy of mine just bought a used Chinese CNC router. It has a Syntec 6MD controller. Has any one here any experience converting from that to Mach? Does someone make a card or something that can take I/O from the machine and feed it through Mach 4? Or how else is it done?

Thanks!

took a quickie look.. documentation is poor.. but if the system is operational then let it be.. don't fix what's not broke as they say.. if its not functional, I wouldn't spend the time and effort to try and figure it out and fix it.. I'd toss the entire control into the trash.. if that's the case it won't be any tougher installing Mach4 than starting from scratch.. some learning curve but probably no more so than learning the 6MD.  ???
any semblance of information posted to anything remotely  close to accuracy is merely coincidence. Use at you own discretion.. or play the lottery.. same odds
