General Mach Discussion / setup problem with inputs not communicating from a C-10 breakout board

« on: December 01, 2014, 02:03:09 PM »

The good news is all the outputs are fine and all axis drive motors. Trial cuts were successful. The problem is getting the input signals set up for limits. e-stop , and home. I assigned the pins and set the port in config. I get no response on the diagnostic screen when jumping/unjumping the pin and 5vdc . I toggled active hi/lo with no response.

The board is set up for both inputs and outputs.  There are 5 unused. 10, 11,12,13,15 none respond on the diagnostics screen.

I tried setting up my backup breakout board - same thing - so it must be the setup ?
Any ideas I can try would be appreciated.

General Mach Discussion / Serial port setup question. Help

« on: April 16, 2012, 04:46:43 PM »

I'm trying to setup Mach3 on a router project. The computer didn't have a serial port so I bought a Pci card and installed it. Windows xp is happy and it's defined as LPT3 with address beginning 9C00.
The Mach install and reboot ran fine. The driver test was excellent at 25mhz. I set the port to 1 since 3 wasn't an option and address to 9C00 .

The problem is  I have no outputs on the port.  What do you do when the pci card can only be set to lpt3 or higher  and Mach only allows  1or2?

I think that's the cause of my problem but would appreciate any help please!
