General Mach Discussion / Re: input not working????

« on: February 01, 2008, 12:32:03 PM »

ok, here is the file.  I just loaded mach 3 on another laptop and get the same results. 

If I change the active hi / lo on the inputs, then they change status in the diagnostics screen...(ie. when set active hi, the diagnostic screen thinks all my home switches are active, when i change them to active lo, then they all turn off)

I am running an IBM t30 and tried it on a compaq presario 2100 as well with identical results...what gives?

General Mach Discussion / input not working????

« on: January 31, 2008, 11:13:10 PM »

ok, so i am just now getting my system up and running and can not get the inputs to work.

I have the parallel port set to ECP(have tried bi-directional)

I am running the cnc4pc breakout board for gecko's with g320's

I have motion and all my outputs work, however the inputs, thought the led's on the BOB work correctly are not recognized by my computer. 

I am running winxp.  Any thoughts?  Would the windows firewall be a culprit? 

Help!
