Chinese engraver contol board change

[adika0620]

I wanted to change the board because of I can't cut vectors..And anything, only engrave. But now I solved it.. I need to convert the vectors to .plt and now it works.. It was hard to figure it out.. First AutoCad (.dxf) then CoralDraw(.plt) then I can open it in Moshidraw.

Thanks everyone the help

Hello,
I have sucess changing that piece of rubish of moshiboard for a cheap 3axis TB6560.
This is the video of the machine working with some bugs:

Now I solved most of the machine's bugs, and it is working 95% the way I wanted. Just for information I started the conversion and took around 5 days to finish. I didn't understant anything about Mach3, g-codes and so... but with a litle research you'll learn it fast.
I usually draw things on Autocad, convert it on LazyCam and then cut it with my new machine.
As soon as I have time I'll post the conversion on CNCZONE.
It is so simple and we don't need to put anything apart: we just need the TB6560 board (sold for U$40 with shipping at Ebay) a soldering iron, couple of wires, 4 limit/home switches... and a little patience.
It works just for cutting, not for engraving.
Regards
Raphael

Thanks for your advice, but I want to engrave also with the machine. I figured out how to cut with MoshiDraw and now its not even so complicated. You only have to learn it only once and goes like how you wanted. Thanks

The major bug with these Chinese TB6560 based boards is in the lost steps. But at the speed you are running in the video, it may not be an issue, hopefully.
