An excellent piece of history. Strange that Tesla was not included with the greats - he was certainly very active with wireless transmissions development around 1901.

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: Number of problems with Syil X4 & Mach3 & Mastercam. Help!

Hi Bryan,

Welcome to the forum.

I'd like to make sure that I at least have the axes moving in the proper direction.
My assumption is that the controlled point (the end of the tool) should move in the conventional directions (or the table in the opposite direction)
Thus, on the X4, I would consider a positive X move if the table moved to the left (or bit moved to right of part).
I would consider a positive Y move if the table moved to the front (or rear of the part).
A positive Z move would be upwards, away from the table.
Is all this correct, or am I mixing up my definitions?

I can confirm that this is correct.

Looking at the chart on page 4-2 of the install/config manual of the parallel port pins I don't see how they match the "pins" shown on the diagnostic screen. The diagram has 13 pins on the upper row, and 12 pins on the lower.
The diagnostic screen has 12 pins upper and lower. ??!!

Please don't take too much notice of the Port 1 Pins Current State (Diagnostics Screen) - for some reason they do not always work as intended.
