This is a complete USB setup & troubleshooting feature for a 3040 CNC router (common with Woodpecker, Genmitsu, or similar controllers using a USB-to-parallel or USB-only control board like the TB6560, Mach3 USB card, or Arduino/GRBL).
Candle.exe (no installation needed).M3 S5000. Your spindle should rotate slowly. If it doesn't, check that $30=10000 (max spindle speed) and $31=0 (min speed).Driver Installation: Download and install Mach3. Do not select the "parallel port driver" during installation if you are using a USB connection.
Step 3: Install the CNC Controller Software
Do not proceed until you have these items:
Some systems may require a USB-to-serial adapter to establish communication with the CNC machine. If your computer doesn't have a native serial port or you're using a Linux-based system, you may need to install a USB-to-serial adapter.
