General Mach Discussion / Mach3 with pci IO card controller
« on: October 20, 2007, 11:35:58 AM »
Hi, ive been using Mach3 with my laptop (which have inbuilt paralell port that works ok at address 0x378).
Recently I bought a IO controller card from STLabs (Sunsway) http://www.sunsway.com.hk/products/pci2s1p.html
for use with my rather modern stationary computer which lacks an inbuilt paralell port. I can get the serial ports to work ok (Ive programmed them to work with my
AVR mcu programmer). When I fire-up Mach3 I get no signals from the parport whatsoever (checked for pulses with oscilloscope). Anyone have any clues to why this could be or have been using any separate controller card successfully with mach3.
