General Mach Discussion / Topic: Parallel Port help

« on: October 13, 2018, 08:48:22 PM »

Hiya,

Super newbie with mach3 and cnc's in general. My friend help my set mine up last summer , I had to partition my hard drive to get windows vista and install a parallel port. I've just tried setting it back up myself again so I can play around with it but it doesn't seem to want to move the cnc along any axis. I'm fairly certain I've set the outport and inport pins properly. As well has used the proper port address, but I'm not entirely sure. Are there any other common reasons it may not be working I should look into?

General Mach Discussion / Homing Question

« on: October 08, 2018, 04:06:09 AM »

My Z home switch location is located about 6 inches below the maximum Z axis travel. Sometimes my program ends with the Z axis stopping above the home position. If I start the machine the next day and I home the Z axis and forget to lower the Z to below the home position, the head travels up to the top until it trips the over travel. Is there a way to offset the Z home position to the top of the travel so this problem will not happen?

Hi All, I sent a email to tech support and got a reply this morning. They didn't answer my question, instead they asked me a question. So when I went to reply to the email. I got my email back as deliverable, "email quota exceeded". Have any of you experienced this?
