Machine Down!!

[dougie8]

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help me, I have a Chinese CNC machine running NCStudio. The old Windows Vista machine I used to operate the CNC has given up on me and is irreparable. I have a spare Windows 10 PC which I installed NCStudio on along with the supplied NCS PCI card. After installing NCS I keep getting the attached garbled error message??

My thoughts are that NCS won't work on the Win 10 PC?

I am looking for some suggestions to get me back up and running again, I have attached an additional 3x photographs of my current setup detailed below:

Stepper Drive - I have 3x identical drives for X, Y & Z
Breakout Board - The only identification on this is FC09-1092
Spindle Drive - I am currently using a Makita palm router, the original spindle was disconnected when I purchased the machine, I would like to use the original spindle however I'm unsure how to wire this up to the Drive/Breakout Board, this would not be a priority at this moment however as the Makita does the job.

Ideally I would like to ditch NCS and replace with either UCCNC or Mach 3 or 4, thoughts please?
Which breakout board would you guys recommend that would be compatible with my current setup?
I am fairly confident in changing over breakout boards however this is not something I have experience of, although I have traced where all the wires currently go.
I would also like to connect the host pc to the machine via either ethernet or USB, this would allow me to use a laptop in the future to both control the machine and generate the CAD/CAM files all in one unit.

I appreciate this is quite a long thread thanks for reading this far, any help advise you can give me would be greatly appreciated also if anyone can recommend stockists for the kit I require hopefully you will get me up and cutting again.

PS - the PSU for the machine looks rather antiquated however it does still work output on this is 70V.

Kind regards
Dougie
