Quote from my pdf document...

The specified parallel port pin# which has been associated to the Digital Trigger and configured Active Low should be connected to the laser’s Active Low trigger input.

The laser On / OFF control is on whichever Port and Pin number you allocate to the Digit Trig (Config / Ports & Pins / Output Signals).

General Mach Discussion / Re: mach 3 license ??

« on: January 26, 2017, 02:00:34 AM »

In your old Mach3 folder you should find the file Mach1Lic.dat that is your license file and it should be copied into your new Mach3 folder.

If you have lost your Mach1Lic.dat file completely then you need to contact Microproto for a duplicate.

There is an example of the calculations here http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,12512.0.html

There is also an automated procedure 'Set Steps per Unit' on the Mach3 Settings (Alt-6) page.

There have been quite a few here who have had problems with Win7 and Mach3. Although it perhaps sounds stupid the best solution seems to be WinXP.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Problems with Z not cutting the right depth

« on: January 25, 2017, 09:57:30 AM »

The Z DRO shows the depth change but for some reason the stepper is not moving to the right depth.

Perhaps a mechanical problem with your machine (loose grub screw, slipping coupling, etc.) or an electrical problem (Z axis motor, motor driver, wiring connections, etc.).
