It used to run fine on a BBC but has stopped talking to the computor.
I want to run off a Laptop. The input sockets that exist are 7 pin din Rs232 and a 15 pin 2 row D (DA-15) that is marked up "AuX input"
I was hoping not to have to change motors or boards at this stage as I have just done my Emco 5Cnc (Welturn) but will if that is only option.
Any advice on this and related stuff most appreciated. Phil Gravett (PhilCraft)
Phil,

I assume you've looked at the Denford website and maybe you were aware of the forum they run? I suspect most of what you want can be found there somewhere. I had a quick look but there are several variants of the Starmill. They do, for some variants, do an upgrade for the controller to work off a PC via USB, but I susepct it wont be cheap.
