When I power on the unit, I can hear it lock and when accessing via the Planet-CNC USB software, I have full control, but nothing is moving/changing when I use Mach4. Could someone please help me diagnose why Mach4 isn't allowing me to control the motors? Below is an image of the control board, where you can see the jumper settings. I know the controller (labeled as JP-3163B) is junk, but I want to ensure I can competantly control the CNC with Mach4 before investing in a Gecko 540 controller. I've purchased a Mach4 Hobby license, and my Mach4Mill settings profile is attached. What I need help with now is getting Mach4 working to control the board. Hi guys, I plan to migrate from old USB CNC controller to TNG software. I currently have a Raspberry Pi Set up to serve USB serial connections over. I have routed the usb cable away from all other wiring. So, for less than 50 total, youre getting a complete CNC controller that. I have tried every USB port on the front an back of the PC, there are 10. 1.0.0.1 I have replaced the USB cable with no change. I've been able to perform basic controlling operations using the Planet-CNC USB motion controller software, which means there's a working USB driver installed. Device listed in windows is: CNC USB Controller Mk3 v2.

I did like many newbies and I purchased a CNC from China (here's the eBay link: ). After using Mach 3 for several years, I switched to Planet. Hello, I'm completely new to the CNC realm, but I'm excited that there's such a robust community here. Our 6 CNC Controller Options are broken into 2 software categories: GRBL and Mach3/DrufelCNC.
