I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly, but I seem to be getting a constant 0.03 v when i put my meter on pins 25 for ground and 2 for x-dir. Those are the settings for my controller. That is what I have set within mach3.

General Mach Discussion / Testing LPT Port

Is there a way to test whether or not your lpt port is working properly? I cannot get my steppers to jog or turn with Mach3. I'm at a loss and have debugged everything except the lpt port. Not sure how to do this as I've been spoiled with USB most of my computer life and LPT is a fairly alien subject to me.
