That sounds correct.

When using the TTL(L) input to the laser PSU 0Volts is maximum laser power output and 5Volts is minimum laser power output.

However, to reverse the voltage slope just change the Step Low Active state of the Spindle (Config. / Ports & Pins / Motor Outputs).

The roadrunner Gcode file was compiled for a machine set-up in imperial (Inch) units.

If you add the code G20 to the beginning of the roadrunner Gcode file Mach3 (which you have set-up in mm units) will perform the conversion and your machine will reproduce the work to the intended dimensions.

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 ?
