I have test run a few programs but I have yet to cut any chips. It seems to work just like the old parallel port. For now i have revamped the old CNC PC and use that just for Mach and use the new PC for. In just a few minutes the Smooth Stepper was running I followed your advice and it still doesnt work as it should. Those settings are clearly described in the Warp9 manual.įinally I had to call the Warp9 tech support guy. There are just a couple of special settings to be made in Mach3 in order to work with the Smooth Stepper. When the green surface lights appear on the surface of the Smooth Stepper it is fully operational. Of course Mach3 didn't work and I figured the problem was with the Smooth Stepper. This was the largest challenge because I failed to turn some things on in the Mach3 "Config". Not sure if Smooth Stepper works with other software. Smooth Stepper is intended to work with Mach3. Next I needed to get the Smooth Stepper to work with Mach3. Now I know when the amber light is on and the green light is blinking there is communication between the computer and the Smooth Stepper board. My greatest challenge was not knowing when the network was working. Other than that, follow the instructions carefully. The computer should also have a wireless internet access in order to do the "Configure" process.

It can be run on a Windows 10 64bit operating system with specialized hardware adapters.

It only works on 32 bit PC’s up to Windows 7 with the parallel port driver, to control the motion of the stepper motors by processing G-Code. Additional Information: Rnrmotion.dll is a dynamic link library which is very similar in function to an executable program, or app. If you intend to use the parallel port driver, stick with Windows 7 in 32-bit mode.

Networking is something I have never done before so it was all new to me.įirst, the Warp9 users manual was tailored to the Windows 7 operating system so I was constantly converting the instructions from Windows 7 protocol to Window XP. The Mach3 software turns a Windows 32-bit computer into a CNC machine controller. Yes, Mach3 (the software profram) will work with Windows 7, and windows 10 when coupled with the Mach3 USB interface. The way Smooth Stepper works is you set up a small network between the computer and Smooth Stepper.
I purchased the Smooth Stepper from Warp9. I use it with Windows XP 32bit, which works absolutely fine. There are Smooth Stepper boards that connect via the USB but the Ethernet connections had the most recommendations. Mach3 will only work on 32bit versions of Windows from Windows 2000 to Windows 7 with the built-in parallel port driver. I did some research and came up with a "Smooth Stepper" circuit board that connected to a computer Ethernet port and converted data to a parallel connector. But first I would need to get a parallel port attached to these Dell computers. I thought now is my chance to retire the Compaq computer. He thought I could use the computers in my shop. The computer I use to run my CNC Bridgeport isĪ Compaq WIN98 laptop still running Turbocnc, a DOS program and transferring data withĪ good friend of mine gave me 3 Dell laptop computers, all with the XP operating systems. Most of us know newer computers come without the parallel port.
