Ok. I'm not sure what that means. There is a serial port on that machine and I assume I connect it to a PC to drive it CNC. Are you saying I can test the machine and drive it manually with a separate piece of electronics? Incidentally I am well aware I am displaying breathtaking ignorance in this subject but this is day one for me. I am however very well versed in electronics, not my favourite subject but one in which I am well qualified.
