General Mach Discussion / Re: Using USB and Parallel Port together

Unfortunately you cannot use the parallel port with Win10.
Also, the parallel port cannot be used at the same time as your XHC USB controller.

Hi Buchanan,

Not a dumb question at all.

One thought occurs to me: last night I left the workshop in a hurry. I just flipped all the switches off on  the power board, didn't shut Mach 3 down or the computer.

It is as you suspected - Mach3 saves it's settings to the .xml file on shutdown. If the shutdown is not completed correctly Mach3 will load a previous .xml file (settings) on  next start-up.

Hi Buchanan,

Good fortune building those wonderful time-pieces.

(Friend of mine spent 15 Years building a small, ride-on, steam engine - he spent so much time in the workshop his wife almost forgot she was married).

Hi Buchanan,

If 4uS works OK then stick with that (Gecko recommend a minimum of 2uS and I think general opinion suggests a maximum of 5uS).
