Nott really sure what you have done and what you have not done but think the best route would be format the drive, install any motherboatd drivers, install Mach and thats all. If you still cant get it to work then I dont know what else to suggest.

You state that you have 0 volts on a pin / no change. I can't help you if your PP is not working. From a MACH point of view,
the PP port must be recognized via the PP address. If your PP port is not working i don't care what you do MACH software wise it is fruitless. The MACH instructions sent to the PP just go nowhere.

I can't help if a functional PP is not in place.
Don't know what else to say,

The pp port works. I can pulse the pins and they change. Here is what I have done.
1. Formated the hard drive
2. Loaded XP and made sure pp was set at 378.
3. Loaded Lan driver.
4. Loaded Mach3.
5. Rebooted.
6. Set to inches.
7. Enabled Axis and assigned pin numbers. Kernel speed 25000Hz
8. Set steps to 2000
9. Set velocity to 60
10. Set acceleration to 1.5
11. Set step pulse to 0.
12. Dro's move but I have no output.

Bobbya47,
Describe your systems X axis ie; screw TPI, any gear reduction, any microstepping.
What kind of drives do you have?
Attach your xml  used for  your last reply.

I am using compumotor drives, microstepping with 10threads per in screws. No gear reduction. These drives have worked in the past but that is a mute point. Nothing is going to happen until I get an output from pp.

No time to read it all but do you have axis inhibited by chance?

Are the axis enabled?

Post your xml.
