Third party software and hardware support forums. / UC100 problem

« on: April 16, 2018, 10:28:29 AM »

I am using a HobbyCNC EZBoard with the UC100 and Mach3 Software, I cannot get the Y Axis to work I have swapped motors around and they (motors) are good. When I turn on the controller all motors lock (for better word) including the Y Axis the UC100 has a steady green and blue light has anybody had troubles with the UC100?

I am running or at least trying to run a Chinese 3020T CNC it is the one with the black controller it has a parallel port and a USB and from what I was led to do was get this UC100 and install on the controller and a USB to the computer. The Chinese told me that with their software I only needed to use the USB.
On the pin subject I can use your pin out as typed I do not need to know what the port is doing?

I purchased a UC100 USB to Parallel adapter which was recommended by someone on one of the forums do not remember which. When following Campbell on Utube everything goes along until we get to motor-tuning again I follow along but I cannot get the arrow keys to respond. I also found out what my X-Y-Z pins are X is 13,Y is 12 and Z is 11.

WILL mach3 work on a windows 7  64 bit computer? I purchased a computer on Amazon and the ad was for a 32 bit mach  and what I received was a 64 bit machine

I uninstalled Mach3 and downloaded from the the download on this and when I try to do a driver test I get this; No driver sensed installed. Run Driver Test. I just do not get it.

Let me ask another question, I am following Paul Campbell on U tube and cannot get the machine or software to do what he is telling me=====
Config>X-Y-Z- Axis Motor Movement Profile I follow the instructions to the letter yet a
when Paul mentions using the arrow key on the board nothing happens He does mention hearing the motors run but I have tried this with the controller off and on and I cannot make anything move. Only thing that moves is the cursor line when I use the sliders.

I  have a China 3020T CNC seems to be built ok my concern is the software that came with the CNC and Mach3 which I purchased. Do I have to uninstall the software that came with the machine to get Mach3 to work? Also how do I get the Spindle to turn on ?
I am a new born on this so go easy.
