General Mach Discussion / New to Mach 3 Parallel Port help

« on: November 09, 2015, 09:25:42 AM »

Hi all  and thanks for having me here,

I'm having problems with my Parallel Port the volts coming out are  3.3v and ive read you need 5v but how is this done as i cannot find out nothing on this.

Also when i do get some movement it only moves in one direction (only to the right when i use keys left or right)

and i can only get X Axis to move as Y and Z do not move on the Y and Z drivers but if i plug Y and Z in the X axis they move

I hope someone can help as I'm pulling my hair out, lol  

Martin
