If the voltage is that low you will need to get a breakout board that boosts it, but even then it might struglle as 1.3v is very low.

This thing is crazy. Now y xaxis moves when th y dro moves. I have rechecked my connections and everything is correct. pin 2 is step and 3 is dir on x axis. I have rechecked my wiring and everything is correct.  Still the x axis moves when the y axis is supposed to. Its not as if I am a complete idiot.I spent 35 years in the electrical field, most of it working on automated systems and 22 years of it as a maintenance supervisor for a major paper co.

I closed out mach and restarted it Both y and z axis dir pins are working with about 3.98 volts from pc. X dir is only getting 1.3volts. Now nothing is moving. By the way please excuse my typing. I lost a finger recently and that makes it difficult.

Ah ok, something really strange going on, can you disconnect the cable and test directly on the computers port?

I moved from pin 3 to pin 8 and all dir signals are working but still no movement.

Movement of motors or DROs?

motors. Everything keeps changing. I just rebooted and now all dir signals stay high. It seems as if closing mach and re starting makes things work different.

It sounds as if something is screwing with the port but sure you said you checked no printer drivers were installed so dont know what it could be
