General Mach Discussion / Re: Another tool zeroing...but unique...

Thank you....I tried this approach to no positive end...it seemed as there was no power going to the circuit through the probe...

I think you need to apply the 12V to 24V power to your breakout board for the inputs to work ?

Perhaps try running a parallel port tester just to check that is working OK.
This or something similar; https://www.downtowndougbrown.com/2013/06/parallel-port-tester/

In Device Manager check the Address of your LPT Parallel Port and then check that is the address you have entered for Port#1 of Mach3 and that it is enabled.

General Mach Discussion / Re: machine cutting mirror image of program

« on: October 11, 2019, 01:31:25 AM »

When I push the controller joystick( xbox ) to the left the machine head goes to the right and when I push the joystick down it goes down , when i push the joy stick back the head goes towards the back so to me this is right can anyone please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your controller joystick and your keyboard arrow keys direction should move the cutting tool in relation to the workpiece
(Left arrow key moves the cutter to the left of the work, up arrow key moves the cutter to the back (top) of the work).  You need to think of cutter direction rather than table direction.
In Mach3, Ports and Pins, Motor Outputs, change the Direction Low Active state for any axis that is going the wrong way.

I would suspect a mechanical issue is the cause - perhaps something loose ?

General Mach Discussion / Re: Error Triggered -- Art Code 1 & 9991

« on: October 07, 2019, 02:47:15 AM »

has anyone figured out what causes this "art code 9991" error, thanks.....

I think the only one that really knows what causes this is Art himself but it is a file corruption which can be resolved by re-installing Mach and re-installing any plugins used.
