General Mach Discussion / Re: Getting Mach to see inputs from parallel port (resolved)
« on: January 26, 2011, 12:23:44 PM »
So this is what I did last night...
I was getting signal voltage to my parallel port at the breakout board, but I was NOT getting it at the computer through the parallel cable. I checked all 25 pins in the cable with a meter and found FOUR of them loosing continuity as I moved the cable around. There are not visible signs of damage on the outside of the cable but it is bad.
With a new cable all is good and everything is working!
Thank You everyone for the help and suggestions,
Scott
