6040cnc controller

[RichardR]

I have a 6040Z machine which although is not the best it suits my needs, however after years of not being able to use it , when Covid reared its ugly head I had a lot of help from members one in particular and managed to set the machine up to the Mach3 programme, Unfortunately my control box has the old style printer ports and I can only use an old computor with windows 98.
I used inkscape to design my projects and then JScut to convert to G code, which again took me a long time to understand but I managed.
I Joined a mens shed to increase my understanding of a different programme, they are using Pixelcnc which is a lot better than Inkscape and JScut combined.
I would like to be able to run my cnc machine with Windows 11 but will need a new controller, can anyone recommend a complete controller as I do not wish to build one, presumably it will have a USB control lead between the computer and control box.

Look at the UC100. Plugs into PC using USB and control box plugs in using existing printer plug. All works with Mach3. Designed for exactly your situation! While there may be cheaper options, this is probably the easiest.
