Serial Ports RS422

[AFterlife]

Anyone know if there are any tutorials on this? I want to communicate with a CNC controller and send it an ASCII file. Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you need to talk to the cnc controller using rs422 you will need to get a converter that connects to the rs232 port.

 

if you go to this link they have converters that work well and a decent price

and to use the rs232 look at this forum thread and hopefully it will get you started
