Title: PMDX 126 RevB + ESS convert to linux CNC
Post by: Sangawku on January 08, 2024, 09:54:42 PM

What can i use to convert my machine that is currently running on Mach3 to a linux cnc setup?

I seen the 7I92TM but i dont know if the ports it has is compatible with the PMDX 126 RevB

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The DB-25 port of the 7192TM is electrically and pinout compatible with the PMDX-126.

MESA provides sample configurations such as the Gecko G540 which may prove useful as a starting point for configuring your system.

I currently have G203V and a PMDX 134 for my controller, all should be good with just that 7192tm? then just wire it all up to my LinuxCNC computer and start from the mesa sample configs?
