    Now I have seen the pics, I get the bigger picture. The QTCL BoB is a parallel port BoB - BUT - in this case it is being driven by the PCF08094 which is an ethernet interface.

    You have two options :-

    Set up the Ethernet address as Jazz says (which is the better way to go!)

    or plug the QTCL BoB into your printer port with an appropriate printer cable adapter like this one - If you could find one (I am not selling mine!)

    The printer port connects to the PCF08094 board - which then connects to the Bob via a ribbon cable ( This is how it was when I bought it and worked).

    So are you saying to unplug the ribbon cable that currently connects the print port to the PCF08094 board and connect it directly to the bob?

    I have uploaded a video which mite make things clearer

    If it's using Ethernet then it won't work untill you set the Ethernet address and it would be Dead just like your experiencing.!
    One of the ribbon cables connects to the parallel port. The Ethernet cable runs to the control panel on the front of the machine - the board the Ethernet cable comes from is
    PCF08094 DS0809
    EAST CRYSTAL Rev:1.0

    And the one below it which connects to the parallel port is
    PCF 07483
    EAST CRYSTAL Rev1.1
    Ds0807

    Could you start again troubleshooting the signal, starting from your computer?

    First measure the parallel port pin output voltages to see if mach3 outputs signal when you send commands and if this signal is 0-5 volt. If not, there's a problem on the computer side. It could be mach3 parallel port driver, computer power management, bios settings.

    If mach3 is transmitting and receiving 5v signal through the parallel port then most probably the BoB is the problem.

    If you need more detailed assistance in checking the signal I can try to give you a step by step guidance.
    Checked and mach3 is sending 5v through the parallel port

    Seems it’s the breakout board - I bought a cheap one + new drivers - Am having trouble wiring it however there is life, spindle comes on when powered (can’t turn off, can control the speed via the inverter and that’s it and z axis moves up (both keys make it go up), the limit switches are now showing in the diagnostics page and if I home the machine it seems to move in all directions - Estop switch is broken and Will be replacing and the estop button in Mach3 doesn’t stop it - so I quickly pulled the power shortly after it started moving, but seems like it moved in all directions.




    How I wired it
