Mirac Conversion

Post by lsces » Fri 07 Dec , 2012 22:51 pm

I've been asked to help with the conversion of a Mirac which seems to be in good condition, but has no software or dongle for the PC. A quick review seems to indicate that providing a new breakout board for Mach3 or USBCNC should not be difficult, but the set-up does not match any of the circuit diagrams I've seen so far. http://medw.co.uk/fisheye/gallery/148 has some pictures showing 2 off the KEB-F0 inverters in the bottom of the cabinet.
Anybody seen/got one of this version of build? Or some appropriate drawings?
( I've an Orac almost ready to go home, and a sick Easyturn which needs it's tacho pickup sorting out as well )
