BRK25M DB25 Male connector Screw terminal for each of the 25 lines Solder pad connection space for all 25 lines Supports addition of .1" pin headers

The whole CNC and robotics arena makes extensive use of the DB25 connector for I/O port connections, switch and sensor hookups, and entire machine control through the PC's parallel port. Regardless of the application, you'll find the BRK25M breakout board gives increased flexibility to your design by allowing fast installation, replacement, rework, and testing. When connecting to a parallel port, a BRK25M (with a DB25 Male connector) is typically used. However, if you need a DB25 Female breakout board, it is available here.

There are a great number of software packages, both open source and commercial, that are intended for CNC control with the PC's parallel port. Some of the more popular packages include:

• Master5, Mach1, and Mach2 by ArtSoft
• Turbo-CNC by DAK Engineering
• LinuxCNC EMC Project
• CNC ZEUS
• CNC PRO by Yeager Automation
• CNCMILL by Sierra Simulations & Software
• Indexer LPT by Ability Systems
