Hi y'all.
New member with first post here
As the title suggests I got my hands on Vevor 3040 which, unfortunately, has USB on it.
I found this topic, that I didn't wanted to necro bump, where someone seems to have found a simple solution to the issue.
Unfortunately, the topic does not get into much details and I do not know enough about electronics to figure out where what should be connected.
Does anyone have more information about how to achieve this conversion?
Or is it even worth doing and I should simply get another board that has parallel port on it?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

With that board the only option is this:
forum.linuxcnc.org/30-cnc-machines/45079...only-what-now#234532
My advice, buy 3 or 4 of new simple TB6600 drives (the smaller ones do not use the TB6600 but a much better chip, although less powerful) and wire directly to a cut down parallel port cable.
Or get a BOB, makes wiring easier and do not cost much, but some can limit step speed somewhat.
