Hi all,
I have decided that the best way to get my 1986 triac functioning as I want it is to retro-fit a modern control system.
I have been advised on here that the NEE control system cannot be updated, so I am looking at pulling everything out and starting from scratch.
My knowlege of this type of thing is limited, but I see it as a learning curve.
I have been told that this system would be capable of running the trac, and if it will, it seems like an easier option for me:

My queston is, has anyone used this system before, will it run the triac ok, and which software should I purchase to run the machine.
Sorry for my noob style questions, still a lot to learn
I also have a second triac, NEE system which is fully functional which is for sale if anyone is interested.
Thankyou
Paul

Re: Triac upgrade options
Roys (diycnc) system will run the triac fine, is yours an atc version?
Mach3 would be an ideal controller

Hi Martin,
No, I dont have an ATC fitted I'm afraid.
How easy of a conversion would it be to use this system? I also have a orac which I would like to convert.
Thanks
Paul
