I'm new to CNC and am giving myself a crash course...

[jellybean]

i've so far figured out fusion 360, had the electrician hook up the burgmaster vtc150 jobber, and the repair man gave it the working good seal of approval...

it looks like the 411 is what i want to go from the pc to the parallel port on the machine....

i'm hoping someone has a similar item they can verify before i drop $300 i don't really have right now

[jellybean]

after calling customer support i'm now convinced it's an rs232c port....

i'm sure having fun with figuring this out and i appreciate all help i've had and yet to be given!

A quick follow up. Jellybean has a machine with a working Fanuc 6M control
that has an RS-232 port for loading programs. Since his primary concern
was to avoid having to hand enter programs into memory, I advised that
he should research how to use the RS-232 port that he already has.
