General Mach Discussion / Re: The Craziest thing I've seen thus far...
« on: March 16, 2010, 05:46:47 PM »
Thats exactly what it was pin 6 was step 7 is dir.
So I grabbed an old lpt cable and ran to radioshack to grab a sub d 25pin end.
Made the cross over cable.
Pin 7 converts to pin 6 and pin 8 converts to pin 7 thru the cross over patch cable.
Setup mach for pin 7 and 8 and bam it all works.
I did test pin 6 on the lpt port on the back of the pc and it is dead.
I also tested to see if the wire that was grounding out was pin 6 and it was.
So pin 6 grounding out the on the KB bracket I made shorted pin 6 on the pc port.
So I now can use the lpt port and not hassle with getting another pci lpt card.
Now I just have to convert the table belt drive over to the new acme drive.
I am really loving the backlash nuts from dumpster cnc along with the other stuff I grabbed from there. ::thumbs up::
Four turn acme screws ae running better than I thought. 350+ ipm rapids.
Thanks for all the help.
