FAQs / Having trouble getting set up
« on: February 22, 2010, 04:24:53 PM »
I'm a first time Mach user and I have installed a PCI parallel port on my computer running 32 bit xp. I purchased an Anaheim Automation 4 axis step driver with break-out board that they say is compatible with Mach3. I downloaded Mach 3 and successfully tested the driver. I then made the proper Dir and Step pin assignments according to the documentation provided by Anaheim. I have the correct port selected and input the address found in device manager. I tested the signal coming out of the Parallel port and it is sending a 5 volt signal when I hit the jog keys. However, the axis lights on the driver cards are not lighting up, nor are the "Port 1 pins current state" lights on the Mach3 diagnostics page. Are the Port 1 pin light supposed to light up when in use? Does this sound like a problem with my hardware, software? Any ideas?

Thanks
