How do you attach your computer to your current BOB? If you do not have a db25 connection to your BOB why did you get a ESS? The BOB should connect to both the lazer and cnc driver.
I've been running my velox 6262 CNC for 8 months now, but recently I've been looking into upgrading with Jtech's spindle mount 7W laser for engraving my powder coated aluminum pieces.
I ordered the warp9 ESS, BOB, and ribon cable just how it shows on jtech's website, but here's the issue I foresee:
Neither my PC nor CNC control box has DB25 connections. Just straight up ethernet to ethernet port.
How would I connect my PC running Mach 3 to both the laser driver and CNC driver?
USB to Ethernet adapter for one of them?
Thanks!

The ESS has three "parallel" ports. You just need a DB25 to IDC26 adapter.

After sleeping on it I'm starting to realize that I may need to just open my CNC electrical enclosure and tap directly into the CNC's ESS. Sorry, that was a rooky post

No, everything should go through the ESS.
