Features:

• PWM (opto isolated 5V interface) and Anlog (0-10V) output are available. It can be used to control the spindle speed controller that controlled by PWM.
• 4 output ports are available. THese can be connected to relay modules with optocouplers to control flood and mist etc.
• Stepper motor drivers can be connected as common anode or common cathode input connection mode. Stepper motor drivers should have photocouplers for input to ensure safe operation.
• Also provide 5 axis XH2.54-4P 2.54mm Socket Connector which make it is easy to connect with the stepper motor drivers such as TB6600 driver boards.
• All the port names are printed directly on board  for easy wiring.
• Additionally, a handwheet interface is provided.

Setup Instructions:

• Step 1: Install Mach3: If you already have a Mach3 Installed, skip this step.
• Step 2: Download the USB Motion Driver BL-UsbMach-V22.dll and copy and paste the file into your Mach3 Plugins folder Example: “C:/Users/ProgramFiles/Mach3/Plugins”
• Step 3: Make sure you board is connected to the PC via USB cable. It should automatically recognize the USB device.
• Step 4: Open Mach3 and you should be prompted to select a driver. Select the “USBMach V2.0” and check “Don’t ask me again”. This will allow your board to communicate with Mach3.
• Step 5: Download the XML Mach3 Config File above by right clicking on the link and selecting “save as”. Save the Mach3Mill.xml file in your Mach3 root folder.

Notes:

• An additional power source is required for the limit switches and spindle portion of the board.
• This Interface board is not compatible with Windows 10 however you can install virtual OS using VmWare to install Windows XP on a Windows 10 Machine. To learn more about this process read this article
