Need Help!- Phoenix Router / engraver

[beamsjr]

I am trying to help get our schools CNC router working. We do not have the software that came with it. There is not a lot of info I can find on this thing. Here are some pics of it.

Do you know if it would be possible to just hook this thing up to ENC2 or Mach3?

Thanks, Joe

Ok, I have decided to retrofit this machine with a hobbycnc pro board. I am looking at the motors now to see if I will need to replace them. The motors in the machine are 8 wire motors, but they are wired to the current driver board using only 4 wires. I am guessing these are in fact unipolar motors that are wired in a way to make them work with a bipolar system. basically 2 wires are joined to one wire to make 4 leads. The info on the motor label is HY 200 - 2240 - 460 - A 8

Any info on weather or not these motors will work would be great! Thanks for your help.

8 wire motors can be wired unipolar, bipolar series, or bipolar parallel. I don't know the ratings, but you can wire them to the HobbyCNC board.
