The cable that came with my CNC was for the control box (25 pin female) to the PCi CNC card provided which has a 25 pin Male socket. so my cable is 25 pin Male - Female the PC is a 25 pin Female Socket. However I'm not going with Card because there seems to be no support at all for the for it and even less for the software NCStudio -- Quote from the seller "Easy to use, 3 Axis CNC Milling / Engraving / Router Machine, complete unit, NCStudio CNC software supplied as standard". Actually, by mistake he sent a fully licenced copy of Mach3 instead, I will return it to him if he sends me a copy of the NCStudio software and Drivers.
However I will go with Mach 3 and any good software that has lots of support and tutorials etc..
So I need the correct cable.. and I don’t know which one to get because in another thread I was warned to make sure it is wired correctly, and would a gender changer change the wiring ? I don’t know..
So I need a Male – Male 25 pin cable that is wired correctly for the controller PC and software .
Could anyone please just drop me a link with one so I can buy it .. ebay would be good.. I'm not being lazy I've just got fed up of trying to work it out and was hoping someone had a short, to the point answer
