Just registered...Purchased Mach3 in 2012 to run a MAX15 CNC with Xylotec on a WindowsXp platform. Worked well for all of those years. Computer motherboard failed. Installed new motherboard and upgraded harddrive. Everything ran well again. Purchased a G0704 mill, converted to ball screws and stepper motor driven axis's. In setting up a new profile, matched the motor pin-outs to the same config for the MAX 15. However, when trying to document the motor tuning parameters for the MAX15 no screens would popup when clicked-on. All of the functions such as keyboard jog and running a program would function properly. I then connected the new Grizzley setup to the parallel port and it also ran but the motors needed to be tuned....but not able to get that screen 'motor tuning' to pop up. So ,,, if it ain't broke don't fix-it ....right well I fixed it I installed the current Mach3 and couldn't get passed the parallel port install.... then I Canceled out of the install but tried to run Mach3 to see if it would still run. Guess what it loaded but I can't jog the motors .....but the motor tuning screen pops up and you can make adjustments and save each axis but motors will not run....Any advise for this Genius ? and Glad to meet You!!!
