OK, I re-tested the pins and think I didn't have a good ground the first time. Now all looks good. I have voltage change on all direction pins. It appears that all is good right up to the control board. I ran their own test software for the board and it failed also. I am now working with the manufacturer tech guy. I think I am in for a new board. Thanks for you help!

I get no voltage or voltage change on the pins when sending a direction signal. Now what?

Help! I can't get Mach 3 to communicate with the breakout board. I think it is a port problem. I have run the driver test and it reports back complete control and an excellent rating. I can not get any response to the steppers at all and the diagnostic screen doesn't show any green lights on the port pins. I tried uninstalling the port driver and reinstalling Mach 3 but still the same thing.
