General Mach Discussion / computer upgrade problem
« on: August 09, 2007, 03:23:48 PM »
Hope someone can suggest where to look. I have Taig mill converted to cnc and have ran it on Mach2, TCNC, and cncPro over time. For various reasons I had to set it aside. I need to get it running again and have a new computer for it. A Dell P4 with 1 gig ram. I installed the latest Mach3 R2.4. I can't seem to get the mill to do anything. I beleive that the ports and pins are set up correctly. The steppers have holding torque when it is powered up but I can't get them to move at all.
The drivertest results look good. I don't have a breakout board and am using gecko drivers. Is it possible the newer on board parallel port is causing these problems?
Any suggestions to try?
Thanks,
Al
