Hello,

I am using a MAXNC 10CL (closed loop) mill (with the the MAXNC controller) under LPT1:

I will be controlling (2) additional steppers (not part of the mill, but part of the milling process) that will be controlled by a different controller under LPT2:

Is this possible with MACH3? I'm gonna need some help with the configuration - anyone interested?

Hi, Charlie

Will all help anyway we can, Do you have a second p-port installed. ?

Have you tested it at all.

Others will post.

What you seem to be saying is that you are having Mach 3 running a mill on port 1. What you want to do is run another set of kit on port 2, using a different GCode program.

I do not see how you can run multiple versions of mach 3 simultaneously on the same machine.

Mach 3 uses a great deal of the computers processing to generate the various pulses, in strcit time, required for moving the steppers/servos.

What exactly are you asking.
