Hi Hood
I have some pics but can't understand how to post them.
I tried putting the file path in i.e.
but the preview did not show anything.
Anyway, I can see things much clearer from the photo, the port is marked 'JPRT1' and the botton row are odd no's 1 to 25 and top row even 2 to 26, the last pin no 26 of the male plug on the board is removed making 25 pins in total.
I have been cutting metal today, some engraving and circular pocketing, all went well.
Originally I set my table to move in the direction of the arrows on the jog buttons (table moving in relation to fixed cutter) ie X axis moving right to left -ve direction but this did not correlate with the tool display in mach3 and machining moves were backwards. (similar with the Y axis moving from back to front foe -ve)
I reconfigured so that when using the jog buttons I imagine the cutter moves relative to the table (imagine table stationary)making x axis moves left to right -ve direction. (Y axis now moving front to back for -ve direction)
Now everything seems right but I do find it a bit confusing when jogging having to imagine the table is stationary and the cutter moves relative to the table.
Cheers
Nigel
