help needed with breakout board

[Neale]

Looks like the one in my mk1 control box, but someone has butchered the terminal blocks down one side... Yes, USB for power only; signals via parallel port.

If it was USB comms you'd have to install and configure a plugin.

Its defo a parallel port to MACH3 the USB is power for the board only.
A straight on photo would reveal more information for the guru's too look at :-)

Terry did you get the PC with machine or have you installed Mach on another PC.?

If it was working when bought it then just moving shouldn't hurt the BOB. Only takes one wrong setting in Mach3 and nothing will work. Esp when using the Parallel port which this BOB clearly is using unless plugged into another External motion control board.?
