CNCdrive UC100 USB to Parallel Port Motion Controller Mach3 UCCNC CNC Router

The UC100 is a USB motion controller that replaces the parallel port on a PC. It presents a 100 percent LPT-compatible pinout, so an existing parallel port breakout board keeps working while the PC gains a modern USB connection.

• Motion control on up to 6 axes (X, Y, Z, A, B, C).
• Configurable maximum stepping frequency: 25 kHz (20 us pulse), 50 kHz (10 us pulse) or 100 kHz (5 us pulse).
• 12 buffered 5V 20 mA (TTL level) outputs with current sink and source capability.
• 5 input pins at 5V (TTL level) with Schmitt-triggered filtering, internally pulled up to 5V at 4.7 kOhm.
• 100 percent LPT port compatible pinout.
• Automatic firmware checking and firmware update.

Works with Mach3 and UCCNC via plugin. Note that it does not include a DB25 gender changer, so if your breakout board has a female connector you will need to add one.

This device is not optically isolated. It makes the grounds of the breakout board common with the grounds of the PC. Faulty wiring on the controller could allow a ground loop with the main power supply, which may damage the UC100 or even the PC. If your build needs isolation, plan for it on the breakout board.
