General Mach Discussion / Mach3 and second parallel port card

« on: December 26, 2013, 03:57:09 PM »

I have been having issues with a second PCI parallel port card.  I purchased the card from CNC4PC along with a MPGand the C22 card.
I installed the card on a Gateway PC runnning windows XP.  The device manager shows the card installed and working.  Device manager shows 2 I/O address, CD00 and D480.  I have tried both with odd results.
When I entered the first address clicked apply Mach3 did not communicate with the card.  I then tried the second I/O address and clicked apply and this did not work either.  I then went back and input the first I/O address click apply and magically it worked.  At least until I restarted my PC and then it did not work.  I used the CNC4PC support forum but Arturo was not able to help.  
I have read many of the previous posts and never saw this issue.  Does anyone have experience with this or a similar issue.  Any help would be appreciated.

Third party software and hardware support forums. / Jog Pendent

« on: December 13, 2013, 05:30:46 PM »

I just installed and configured a MPG2 jog pendent from CNC4PC.  I cant seem to get the pendent to communicate with Mach3.  I installed and enabled the brains and configured per the instructions.   Is there a good way to test weather the LPT2 is working.  The PC device hardware say its good with no conflicts.  I see output #6 is the LED.  However the Led on the pendent is not lit.  Any help would be appreciated.
