    Default KT-2514: Move from Mach3 to Mach4-Hobby and Windows 10 Pro

    I have owned a KT-2514 for a while but have always been hobbled with all sorts of instability and obsolescence issues with the parallel port.

    I have decided to move on to Mach4 and to connect the KT-2514 with my Dell T7500 running Windows 10 Pro.

    I need help with identifying what hardware to buy; Is it possible to get something based on USB 2 or USB 3? Could I get something to replace the control box or am I stuck with the parallel port connection.

    All help appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Get either an Ethernet Smoothstepper, a UC400ETH, or a UC300ETH motion controller.

    Just plug the cable that went to your parallel port into the controller.

    You don't really want a USB controller, the ethernet ones are much better.

    I have the UC400ETH on order from Amazon and will give UCCNC a try.

    Thank you once again.

    Question Re: KT-2514: Move from Mach3 to Mach4-Hobby and Windows 10 Pro

    Hi Omorali

    I have a KT-2514 servo machine. I recently had to reformat the hard drive on the computer I was running Mach3 and lost the settings in Mach3. Do you have a KT-2514 profile you can send me? Thank you.

    Jerome

    Hello Jerome.

    I apologise for reverting this late; I just logged on.

    Do you still have this requirement? It is my pleasure to share with you.
