Parallel cord is what I meant, I think.  The cord going from the computer to the cnc controller. Maybe i will by a new one and try it out although i am doubtful.  hmm.

Thanks for the welcome, I will post some of my background at a better time.   I have completely uninstalled mach3 and re-installed, even bought new a new stepper driver board because that is as far as I could trace it. its either a setting in mach3 or a in the serial cord but it worked fine before and just quit. Stumped.... its been weeks lol.

General Mach Discussion / Z-axis Locked

« on: December 03, 2015, 01:07:09 AM »

Whats up guys,
                     I am having problems with the z-axis being locked running mach3 on a dj3040 desktop router. The z-axis never unlocks after starting mach3 software, x and y axis unlock and move but the z stays locked and gets hot fairly quick. I have done everything with the cnc from check wires and connections and everything is good so I am guessing it is something that I accidently turned on or off or something but have went through it multiple time with no success. If I hook the z-axis stepper to say the x-axis control wire it works fine. SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY ADVISE OR IDEAS?

THANKS IN ADVANCE
