The adapter USB to LPT1 will not work - you need an external motion controller if you plan on using a laptop.

Hi I am new and just starting to try work this out but have hit a wall

I am 32-bit win 7 on a laptop
I have set the pins x 23 y 45 z 67
Steppers have power

Driver test good

Hi I am brand new and in a mess it appears, I bought myself a kit some years ago that contained TB6600 stepper motor driver board and stepper motors which according to the literature only needed Mach 3 to have the system run

Thanks to the shut down I have 3 d printed myself a table and gone about installing the steppers and boards, downloaded Mach 3  followed the youtube video but when I get to the point of testing in driver test.exe I get the "no driver sensed installed. Run Driver test."

I know I have only just joined but I do want to make this table move so any guidance would be really appreciated

PS the video was from 2014 and I am running win 10
