ok I follow your advice! Is there any risk of burning motor, for example if I set maximum acceleration or speed value?

Hi Hood, I reinstall Mach3 and now it works!great! I have only to tune the motors hoping not to burn them :-) I think I will find some indications in the forum to set correctly the parameters...I'll look for

thanks Hodd now it works!great!
the only problem I have still to solve is that mach3 doesn't work if I run it as a windows client otherwise it work without any problem if I run it as administrator. Do you know any way to use it as client?
bye!

I tried to set the other port but nothing, it was just a try...now I reset only the 0378 that I think it is the correct one but nothing...I also tried with a voltmeter to check the out signal from the parallel port but when I give a command (for example G00 X10) the mach3 displax indicate a movement but the signal is always 0...what could I do?Is there a software to detect the parallel port address? have I to install particular driver for the parallel port?
Thanks for your help!

Hi to everybody, I'm new here. I give you this question:

I bought a MF70CNC kit, my administrator installed MACH3 I tried to use it (as a client) but when I open it I receive this error message:

"THIS PROFILE SEEMS TO BE EITHER CORRUPT, EMPTY OR MACH2 PROFILE, DO YOU WISH TO EXIT OR SELECT ANOTHER PROFILE?"

If I use it as admin the message doesn't appear, I enter in MACH3 I give for example G00 X10 the display indicate x=10 but the motor are freezed, no move! :-(

more details if this can help you: if I go in win XP system...hardware I note this problem (sorry if it is in italian, but I think you understand the problem)as in attachment1 and the details as in attachment2

I don't know if this is the problem, if the parallel port doesn't give any signal...Do I need any particular driver to install?or MACH3is enough?
I also attach the XML file (Who sold me the CNC kit gave me the XML file too so I think it works).

Last thing my pin setting (as indicated by the seller):

LPT pin 2 = X axis step/clock signal
LPT pin 3 = X axis direction signal
LPT pin 4 = Y axis step/clock signal
LPT pin 5 = Y axis direction signal
LPT pin 6 = Z axis step/clock signal
LPT pin 7 = Z axis direction signal
LPT pin 8 = A axis step/clock signal
LPT pin 8 = A axis direction signal
LPT pin 18-25 = Ground


I thank you for help!
