you need 32bit windows 7
mach3 can not control the printer port if you have 64 bit windows

Yes but he is not very good at answering questions... anyway, if he is using an UC100, as he said later, then it doesn't matter. So his conclusions are totally wrong, has nothing to do with XP.

ok here we go I bough uc100 tried it mack3 estop was on and I couldn't turn it off as u know if estop wont reset mach3 wont work to move steppers on cnc so I bought a parallel port card it turns off the reset but still nothing works on the cnc BUT if I connect my old pc with xp on it all the same settings as windows 7 it works fine

[john swift]

so the original breakout board works with the old XP PC but not the new windows 7 PC

its possible the W7 PC either not configured correctly or
has a 3.3V output that is too low for the BOB

when you tried the uc100
what state was the green power LED & blue Communication LED ?

inside of a uc100


LEDs visible either side of USB connector


may be the UC100 plug in is not installed correctly ??
