I have done the basic wiring of the Gecko g540, i.e. power and estop. When I turn the charge pump off, I get a green light. I hit the estop and I get a red light. So far so good.
In Mach3 I have enabled the motors in the the Ports & Pins config and set the charge pump to port 1, pin 16 under the Output Signals tab. The Rosewill has two ports and I have tried both of the first hex values found in "i/o range" under the Device Manager -> Ports -> Resources. Still only getting a red light from the gecko. I am using the LPT3 hex C00.
I have looked at three different set up guides and think I covered everything they told me too. I know the cable works because I did a circuit check on each pin.
