Hi all,
please can someone help me.
Finished build (mech +elec) of my CNC with spindle.
Got no movement -
Using Mach 3 on Win 7, Parallel port on PCI.
Did fresh install of Win 7, and then Mach 3 on a fresh hard drive.
Was prompted by means of a tick for PP (parallel port) driver - ticked.
Question: in device manager i dont have resources to show address for PP, also says my driver for the card is not there - tried and cannot get a new driver for the PP loaded? Any ideas

Have been through all the inputs/outputs etc on config - nothing changes
Checked continuity from PP male - PP female (i had to cut it to go through a gland) - all tested ok.
i did have limit switches illuminate (on and off) on diagnostics page - so i assume the link between BOB and PC is ok.

i am using a BB5001 board (HY-JKM5) Chinese one off Ebay, found a couple of articles which showed pin allocation - does anyone know what they should be?
Starting to think that this is the root of all my problems.

Any help/info greatly received.
