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.
