thanks for your concern
but like i stated the board is already working with another software and the motors spin smoothly but i would like to use mach3 to control my cnc but whatever i try the best result i get is the very tiny steps for just the Y motor thats it

thank you for your reply
the step pins configured for the DB female in the board is 3 6 9 for the X Y Z and the dir pins is 2 5 8 and here is the photo for the recommended by the board maker http://www.pminmo.com/wiki/index.php?title=Image:Mach3MotorPin.png
and if you checked the xml file you will find that i configured it right i don't have a clue of whats wrong

General Mach Discussion / HELP please Mach3 won't run my board

« on: September 21, 2007, 01:08:30 AM »

I'm totally new to the cnc world but i managed to make the table and a board to control the motors and i'm using this board http://pminmo.com/3axis/3axis.htm  and i tested it with another software and it spin the motors very well but when using Mach3 i can't move the motors at all i used the configuration as instructed in the board manual for pins on the LPT port and also this configuration http://www.pminmo.com/wiki/index.php?title=MACH3_setup
which is made specifically for this board with mach3 but nothing happens at all but i noticed that when i run gcode file " the road runner" and start cycle i notice very very small movements on one motor like 2 or 3 tiny tiny steps but thats all
please help me configure my board with Mach3
BTW i'm running a new computer with 3.2GHz processor if thats matter

thank you in advance
