Have you checked that there is power to the control unit and steppers?

[petesos]

Hi
Yes there is power to the unit as the machine fires up ok and the stepper motors are all locked ready to work

Is the esto button flashing?

[petesos]

Hi There
Yes the estop is flashing

[petesos]

in my mach3 when i load mach3 a window comes up asking me what port i want to use it has never done that before and i have tried using every port but still no movement

[JohnHaine]

What motion controller do you have? Parallel port? If the estop is flashing try clicking on it

[petesos]

Just clicked on the estop and still no movement .
When i load mach3 a window comes up that says YOUR SYTEM IS SHOWING MORE THAN ONE CONTROL DEVICE PLEASE PICK THE ONE YOU WOULD LIKE THIS PROFILE TO USE.
NORMAL PRINTER PORT OPERATION
BSMOTION _V2.0
OR NO DEVICE
