Help with Mach 3 - Cant get the motors to respond

[Lloyd Barnes]

One possibility is the new PC's parallel port being a low-voltage variant (3.3V rather than 5V) - take a DVM and measure the pin voltages on the outputs from the PC.

Hi Doddy

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I found the problem about 2am last night. Its down to the fact that I'm an idiot (not surprisingly!)

I'd quickly photographed each config screen before the old PC died, but I didnt spot on inputs and ports and pins I hadnt scrolled down and photographed the "lower" part of the screen. Hadnt set up charge pump

I'll take being an idiot and having the machine working though!

Have a good weekend

Lloyd
