You are correct sir.

No, just the Direction Low Active should be changed.

4.5 Volt would be OK, connect as shown in the diagram (+pole to the 10k and -pole to GND).

If you wish to test the circuit / setup without it being connected to the laser PSU then temporarily connect the components shown in red.
With this and when Mach3 is set-up as described then the commands…
M3
M11P1
S100     should indicate 5 Volts
S50       2.5 Volts
S0         0 Volts

Etc.

Go into Config. / Ports & Pins / Motor Outputs and change the Direction Low Active state for your X axis. This will reverse it's direction of travel.

Hi Bernd,

You are making progress.  

Set PWM Base Frequency to 100 (spindle setup)
Set Output #1 to Active Low (output signals)
Set Clockwise (M3) to Output #1 (spindle setup)

You need to add spindle speed to your Gcode (S0 = minimum PWM ; S100 = maximum PWM).

You need to be using Mach3 version R3.043.056 or later.

My guess would be (as you suspect) that the parallel port has been damaged. Fitting another PP card may be an easy fix.

In the MDI screen, zero the X axis DRO, then input G0 X10
Press Return.
Does the X axis move in the + direction (to the right) and the DRO subsequently read +10.0000 ?

Because there is always more than one way to do anything this is just a suggestion...

Mach3 under Vista / Re: 3020T and Win10 64 bit

« on: June 13, 2016, 03:12:41 AM »

Hey guys. I have Windows 7 x 64 bit with Mach 3 installed and a warp9 ESS Smooth stepper. The ESS is communicating (According to their documentation with the LED's) but i can't get the stepper motors to jog. Fair warning, I am a ground zero noob.

Perhaps goto the Warp9 site (http://www.warp9td.com/index.php/sw) check that you are using their recommended version of Mach3 and their lastest plugin. Download and run their SCU and follow the onscreen instructions (there is also a video showing how to use the SCU, if required).

Hope this helps.
