The address for the port matches the the one specified in mach 3. In the computer>control panel>system>device manager>ports. and i check the port and it says the device is working properly. In the driver computer there is a Geko stepping drivers with a C11G multi function CNC board. On the machine are 2-phase stepping motors that turn screw rods. Let me know if you need anymore info.

             Thanks!

Building or Buying a Wood routing table.. Beginnners guide.. / Communication problems!

I bought a homemade CNC router about a year ago. It has worked great until about 3 months ago the main computer started to act funny. i had it checked out and backed up. Nothing was wrong with it. The main computer and driver computer sat for about a month before i had time to hook it back up to do some routing. To my surprise, it would not work. I am using Mach 3 to run the machine on Windows 2000 professional operating system. When i turn on the driver computer i hear the axis motors start up. I open Mach 3 and turn off the E-Stop and go to jog, the axis motors don't move, but on Mach 3 it shows the axis moving... I have checked my connects and exhausted my local resources. Does anyone have any ideas?
