General Mach Discussion / Port addressing when using a smooth stepper?
« on: March 27, 2009, 09:55:43 PM »
He everyone, I'm trying to get my setup up and running. I have a few issues that I think may be related to my port address's used in Mach 3.
I am running a smooth stepper (USB connection to PC) with a PMDX-122 on Port 1 and a Sound Logic Encoder Interface board on Port 2. I understand how to input the port address's when you use a printer port connection but how do you find the correct address to use when using a smooth stepper board?
Do you still go to Control Panel/system/hardware/device manager/ then where?
Currently it's just using the default address's that came up when I installed Mach 3. Port 1 listed as 0x378 and Port 2 is 0x278 in Mach 3 now.
