new to MACH. I have just built a CNC machine and have it all setup on my parallel port and cannot get my machine to move. can anyone help me in trying to figure out why my motors wont move when I jog?
Someone mentioned I need to setup the addressing ???? dont know what that is as of this moment.

It may be more useful to post a packaged profile which includes not just the
INI file, but also all configuration information about the system.
You can generate a packaged profile by using the menu items-
HELP > SUPPORT > PACKAGE CURRENT PROFILE
This file can then be used by support personnel to run an instance of Mach4 that
uses your complete software setup. To do this, use the Import Profile function
of the Mach4 Loader.
PMDX plug-ins can also create debug logs that are automatically included in
the packaged profile. The PACKAGED PROFILE is just a special ZIP file and the
extra files get included when it is created.

ok ronnierozier2 can I have that it would be faster than reading the ini file.
thanks steve

you need to put it in a zip file
-
The generated Packaged Profile is already a zip file but has the filename extension
set to .M4PROF when it is created. By default it gets saved in the main Mach4
folder, but you can select where it gets saved. If you rename it to have an extension
type of .ZIP then any zip file utility can open it.
-
The uploaded txt file appears to be the zip but just renamed, just rename the .txt to .zip
scrap that the file is corrupt though

yer It comes up with cant load 1024.set

UPDATE:
I now have the Z axis and Y axis working like it should but only one of the X axis motors is jogging the other wont move and is binding the system. I know if works because i can swap the cable with the Z axis and it will jog. That seems odd being that both should jog in tandom. I will try and post another support package soon today
-
problem solved:
I had to go into MACH4 a slave the 4th motor with the X axis and it works just fine now.
