General Discussion / Help with a conversion?
« on: March 08, 2016, 04:47:27 PM »
I have a SteelTailor CNC Plasma cutter that the original control died on and I was looking to convert it. I want to keep everything contained within the original enclosure so I'm looking at using an all-in-one touch panel PC, but all the ones I've found are lacking a parallel port so I would need to connect via USB. I think I've decided on using the PMDX-126 with a SmoothStepper so I would have the USB capability I need, but the machine is simple (X axis stepper, Y axis stepper, and a plain motor for the Z axis torch up/down). There are very few other connections like torch on/off, E-Stop and servo disable. Is this setup overkill for what I'm trying to do?
Thanks,
Justin
