I have recently added a 4th axis to my cnc mill and have the following problem.
3 axis XYZ work fine without the 4th axis enabled in mach - config - ports and pins.
enable 4th axis in mach - config - ports and pins all axis fail.
deselect 4th axis in mach - config - ports and pins all axis still fail.
restart mach 3 axis work fine.
Pins set as follows:
Axis Dir Step
x 2 3
y 4 5
z 6 7
a 8 9
I am using a MRI-PCIPP2 pci and I suspect it is something to do wit the Mode. It is supposed to be SPP/EPP/ECP compatable and auto selected.
OS is XP and up to date on Updates.
What I think is the problem is the PCI card is in the incorrect mode, but I have been unable to find any info on manually changing it.
Any help
