If the same package works, does that mean I do not need a separate controller and software and only need to purchase mounts, stepper motors and connections?
Yes, the same controller and motors can run either the lathe or mill. Many people just buy a couple extra motors and mounts for their lathe. Q: I’m looking to use your software to control other stepper drivers rather than the one’s offered by Acumotion, Inc.. I understand MyT’Mill for Windows works with the parallel port, and controls up to 4 standard Step/Direction drivers simultaneously with configurable pin-outs. Can you describe the pins used by the software and what kind of signals should be expected/delivered? A: The software can control 4 step/dir drivers simultaneously using pins 2-9. Typically X=2/6, Y=3/7, Z=4/8, A=5/9 but you can set them to whatever arrangement your hardware requires. The step signal is a square wave with 0 volts for low and high is your printer output voltage, either 5VDC or some newer ones use 3.5VDC. One customer told me he measured the pulse rate as high as 50000 steps/sec. Direction signal is either low (0) or high. Polarity is reversible in the softwa
