General Mach Discussion / Breakout board turns off when opening mach3
« on: August 02, 2014, 07:22:05 AM »
Newbie here.  

When i start my computer the led on the BOB lights up until i open mach 3.  When i open mach3 the BOB light turns off and won't turn on again until i restart my computer.  I believe it could be my setting in mach3 because even if i disconnect the BOB and use a voltmeter to watch the parallel port pins i see the power turn off when starting mach 3.

Have a longs kit (bob db25-1205, 3 axis, dm860a drivers) wired up according to the included schematic.  Running a 32bit machine with an onboard parallel port.  Parallel port is set to lpt1, hex 378, bios for the port is set on ecp mode.

I have tried with "motor outputs" and "input signals" selected as enabled and also turned off.  I have tried all combinations of enabled and active high/low for the estop setting.

Inputs greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
