Hi again all - here's the latest update:

Having opened the box, there doesn't appear to be anything to remove/release (but not being an expert in such things, perhaps someone will correct me on this).

Thanks again for your advice,

Samuel

Thank you Bryan and Tweakie for your advice - I have filmed an updated video using a more recent version of Mach 3 in demo mode, and would be very grateful for your comments and advice (the emergency stop switch appears to be working, having been released through twisting, and the parallel port - I think - is linking correctly with Mach 3).

General Mach Discussion / Chinese 3040T problem - no motor movement

« on: March 20, 2016, 06:04:00 PM »

Hello everyone,

I've run into a problem setting up one of the popular Chinese 3040T machines (on eBay) with Mach 3 - everything seems to be installing and setting up as it should, but I have not yet been able to get any motor movement on the machine. Please see the video I filmed this morning, which documents the set-up from start to finish (with a new Windows XP 32-bit computer):

Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance,

Samuel

I'm also having this problem - recently purchased a newly-refurbished 32 bit Windows 7 computer, and having installed Mach3 and clicked 'DriverTest' a box appears stating 'No Driver sensed installed'. Anyone out there who knows how to solve this problem (without purchasing a new computer)?
