Hi Analias:
I have to say all looks very good. Your pulsing is good, the way your turning things on and off looks good. waterfall is great..
In fact it all looks good. Id have to say its working. Yes, I hear your responce. " No it friggin isnt..". (I also respect the amount of
rustration your likely feeling.). Happens to me too when faced with the impossible.
So, whats next? Id have to test right at the printer plug. Im convinced its working. If your port address is definitely the same as
your mach3 address then it must be working. Logically then, what could cause it to fail. We have enough reports of working systems
to know the port address selector and pulse code works ok.. also i/o works ok. So what could stop it is the question. I can come up with
only 1 real suggestion to eliiminate any possibility of charge pump's or something turning off the breakout board and making it look as if
it isnt working when it really is.
So try this, ( first Ill annoyingly ask you triple check the address is correct as logic dictates it the highest chance of being the trouble,)
then Id ask you to unplug your printer port plug .
Your pins are all showing a low., ( Except pin 11 but thats a special pin that the motherboard negates, so its really low as well.)
The only way input pins can be low is if their held there by an input, otherwise many of them will pull high. So simply unplugging the
printer port plug should change the ports dialog to show some highs as the display shows the raw input data, nothing else. Makes
no difference as to system settings or config, raw data is raw data. Im thinking perhaps a breakout board is holding everything low
until it sees a proper charge pump signal.. so lets eliiminate just one problem.. unplug the plug, does anything read high or does anything
change? ( And triple check the port address...just in case...yeah I know..
)
