General Mach Discussion / Re: Torch relay turns on and stays on when I start mach3.

I need to start out telling you that I had put a MiniTHC with a omics probe, and an ESS smooth stepper from warp9 on my table. I had the guy that sold me the MiniTHC get on my machine remotely form Russia he made a bunch of changes to the mach3 settings. Now I am lost. I have read over the instructions, I have watched the videos, and I am still confused.
1- I unhooked the MiniTHC and the ESS smooth stepper, then I hooked back up the parallel port.
2- I figured out and reset the port setting 0x387 and turned off the second port.
3- I used pin 15 for my estop. (By the way my table doesn't have an external estop button and has no limit switches).
I am confused as to the torch on/off and the relay on the BOB. the on/off Is that the spindle control? I know that the torch on/off would be an output but where do you control the out put and what pin would it be? if the answer is in the manual I did not get it.
Everything is working except the torch is not turning off i.e. (the relay) stays kicked in all the time even when Mach3 is not running.
I did not understand what you meant by config/spindle setup page. I could not find the page and I would have no idea how or what to change it to. then again if it is in the Manual I could not find it.
Yes it is a steep learning curve and I have been getting by just fine with my table until that guy from Russia messed with it and now he will not respond to my e-mails. I need help.
