General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 Port 1 not working, Port 2 is working
« on: April 20, 2015, 03:26:39 PM »
I'm having a problem setting up Port #1 in under Ports and Pins in Mach 3 running on a Windows XP 32 bit desktop with a Model PMDX-2PARPCI parallel port interfaced to a Gecko G540 controller.
In Mach 3, if I enable Port 1, enter the parallel port address and set inputs/outputs to port 1, I cannot get it to communicate with my machine. If I do the same thing in Port 2 i.e. enable it, enter the address and configure input/output settings to port 2 it does work. I'm about at the point to just to go with Port 2, but my preference is to use Port 1 so, I'm wondering if anyone might have an idea why it isn't working and how to fix it?
Thanks
Jim
