Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Looking for software for Acumtion 4-axis driver

A *long* time ago (circa 2003?) I bought a Sherline multi-axis mill and got the Acumtion controller that attaches to the parallel port of a PC.  Does anyone have a source for the program that runs this?  I'm trying to get this up and going again.  I have everything except the software that ran the motors from the G-code.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Doesn't this just use software-generated step/direction?  I think that Sherline was using a version of EMC by 2003.  EMC has become LinuxCNC, and MANY improvements have been added.  If the "controller" is in fact just expecting step/direction through the parallel port, then you should be able to load LinuxCNC onto a modern PC with a parallel port, and pick the configuration from the list.  Most PCs today do NOT have built-in parports, so you just get a PCIe plug-in card for it.

See linuxcnc.org to download linuxcnc.
