Rich,

Thanks for the help,

I have to get the right power supply to my driver, and then i'm going to give it a shot.

Rich,

I haven't tried it yet with the drives.  So you are saying that there is a chance that there is a jumper on my pp card that will allow me to make it a 5v output?  I will check that out.  But you are also saying that there is achance that the 3v output will be enough.  Am I understanding all of that correctly?

General Mach Discussion / 3vdc outputs

This may be a dumb question, but I was having trouble getting any voltage through my parallel port, so I started reading this forum, and was able to figure that problem out.  The problem now is that my parallel port is putting out 3Vdc as opposed to the 5Vdc that is required by my drivers.  Is this going to be a problem, and if it is does anyone now how to fix it?

Thanks,

My name is Jason Chalfant, and I am new here

Im from kentucky and I have decided to build a cnc router.  The original plan was to work on it slowly as I could afford parts, but I fell into some stepper motors and drivers which came off of a piece of packaging machinery so I started a little early.  I figure I will be on here a lot learning how to set-up, and use my mach3 software.

I thank everyone in advance for their help.
