Hey Gang,
I've read the manual and done a few searches but have run short of patience. Hope you don't mind a stupid question.
I purchased all of components for a CNC stepper setup, to convert my mill/drill. Built all of the hardware (power supply, Gecko drives, etc.). Installed Mach3 (older version). Connected a pendant and drives. Setup Mach3. After a bit of tweaking, everything basically worked the first time, after figuring out the ports and setup.
Then I uninstalled the older version of Mach3 and saved the folder by renaming, thinking I would be saving the setup files.
Followed by installing the newest version of Mach3. Everything is fine, but of course my port setups are defaults.
What files do I move into the new folder to preserve my setup please? I moved the Mach3mill.xml file but that apparently doesn't have the port setup. I see an inputoutput file in the older folder, but no corresponding file in the newer version - one called just "inputs". Are the port settings files different between versions?
Again, sorry to bug you with such a stupid question, but it was painful to get everything working the first time and it was almost a year ago. Those brain cells have suffered some loss since then...
thanks in advance,
Scotty
