Parallel Port breakout boards, motherboards, and dedicated accessories / Just purchased PDMX and other items

« on: May 24, 2015, 10:33:57 PM »

So i just purchased the PMDX 126, the PMDX 107, PDMX ContractorMD20-120, and two PMDX-HRD26 Ribbon cables. I currently have a ESS from Warp 9. Anything else i should look into before i start my retrofit of my running gecko 320 driven 3 motor machine? Drivers are good, Servo's check out, I have a licenced copy of Mach 3 and a good PC to run it off of. Maybe some someone has a Diagram laying around of what they did? Cheers!

SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / Need Advice on what Bob to get.

I have a old Dyna CNC machine i use for routing wood. It currently uses gecko 320's, 3 of them to run 3 servo's with a torch height controller in line using two parallel ports. I would like to remove the THC and move to a Ethernet control instead of a parallel port. So what board would be best here? i was thinking PMDX 126 with a 107 on it? If this is a good route what voltage do i need to supply the board with? Thank you for any help in this!
