hi. I have a mf70 milling machine connected to a TB6560 control card and then to mach 3 software on a pc. I have set the port to port 1 and the correct address for this printer port. now I need help setting the pins. at the moment I have X,Y,Z,A all enabled. set step port to 1 on all 4 axis. and dir port also set to 1 on all four. I have set the step pins as follows.

X axis. step pin 1. dir pin 2

Y axis. step pin 3. dir pin 4

Z axis. step pin 5. dir pin 6

A axis. step pin 7. dir pin 8



I am not sure if I needed to enable the A axis at all.
what I have going on with the above settings is that the mill runs only on the Z axis in the jogging mode and will only run in one direction until it gets to the end of the thread and then runs back again.
any help would be good. what should be the correct settings. I have looked at all the videos but they just don't help out. michael
