Mach3 and USB to cnc driver

[needleworks]

Sorry mate, I can't help you with that one A quick google search has turned up this page though :- https://sites.google.com/site/usbres...all-usb-driver

Please don't take this as the correct driver for your controller, but it may help you a little. I'm sure one of the guys on here will be able to advise you better.

Thanks for the reply, I had seen that in my searches.

However it refers to putting my disk in to upload the driver.. the disk I don't have I'm afraid.. so was hoping someone on here has had a similar request..

The guy I brought it off is away on Holiday currently so can't get anything resolved there..

May have to wait until he is back to get it resolved.

Thanks again, but if anyone else has any advice greatfully received.

Throw that USB controller away and buy one that's not made in China, like the UC100. http://www.cncdrive.com/UC100.html

Oh, OK.
I didn't know it was from China.

But I understand that the UC100 is made in china as well..

Rather than spending. £100 on a USB converter I may as well put that towards upgrading the board and installing something with a Grbl or smoothie firmware then in that case surely.

That way it will be more up to date and current rather than dealing with an obsolete board! Am I thinking right here?

But didn't want to get in to that straightaway as I haven't dealt with cnc router for some years but I do know gcode and use that on my C02 laser..

Just asked the question of driver if anyone knew of a solution that I believe was the quickest. But may have to wait for the guy I brought it off to get back.

No, the UC100 is not made in China.
It's made by CNC Drive in Hungary, who stand behind their products and provide support when needed.

They also make UCCNC, an alternative control software that works with it, which is superior to Mach3 (and GRBL).

Thankyou for that info Gerry.

I will look in to that but plodding out £100 and still having the same control card don't see much point investing money in getting this going when I will end up with the same board..

If I can't get a driver then I will upgrade the control system.

If UCCNC is worth a go then what board do I need to look at getting to enable me to run that software.. if it's not Grbl then what firmware is it?

Really? What part of "The Same" do you associate with disposing of a fake and buying a genuine item with the associated support and downloads from a genuine manufacturer?

Only the cheap fake ones preferred by cheap fake ones ;-)
