General Mach Discussion / new user - No signal to board - I think?
« on: October 07, 2006, 11:29:47 AM »
Hello
I have down loaded Mach3 1.84 and have it running on a desk top 2.6 processor. I can get it to work (simulate) by pushing the "off line" button then the RESIT button stops blinking. I can run programs and the axis record movement.
When I do not have it on "off line" I can not get it to RESIT it just keeps blinking. I think my problem is that it is not getting a signal from the computer to my control board. My control board is HobbyCNC's newest 4 axis pro board. The board does work with my Deskcnc program but I would like to upgrade to MACH3. I'm using the free down load of Mach3 at this point to see if I can get it to work before I buy the open version.
Again It seems that I'm not getting a signal to the board or that the program can not find the board.
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks
Mike
