Basic configuration for a chinese 6040 cnc router please

So to help future poor souls,

I finally have a manual for this jb3163b, well maybe as it doesnt have the second port and the markings differ or are not present, oh well. No biggee, I just need to get going and buy a better controller later.



and a pinout,



I dont think its complete as pin1 definitely does something, if only lights a LED, lol. Need to investigate further, looks like the limits switches will work....

Install video is here,

Hang on... That's a USB to parallel cable!
Is it a UC-100 clone? (Not that it matters, it won't work with LinuxCNC)
The UC100 pinout is configurable too, so finding the manual won't help with pin identification.

Isn't the US-100 clone the parallel port to USB addapter/cable?
Just unplug that and throw it away and use a regular parallel port cable.
The stepper board should still work with an ordinary parallel port just fine. And the pin out is very standard looking.

Yes, though I wouldn't throw it away, they are quite clever. (And the actual UC-100 is quite expensive)

That cable isnt used, I have a proper parallel cable to pci parallel card in the t1500

That is more than a cable. Hang on to it. It actually contains a complete motion controller.
