Hi All:
I'm an old engineer but new to CNC and am trying to build a plasma table.
I am using the demo version of Mach3 right now and trying to learn my way around this software. I have it set up for a 3 axis machine with a slaved A axis (to X).
I wasn't getting any indication that the A was moving but learned that the software doesn't give any indication on the diagnostic DRO.
So I tried jogging each axis. Here is where the problem popped up. No matter what values I put in ports & pins for the motor output, the outputs on the LPT always remain the same. The X axis is on 6 & 7, the Y on 4 & 5, the Z on 8 & 9, and the A on 2 & 3.
I've tried all 4 settings in the BIOS and nothing changes.
Anybody got a solution ??
Thanks,
Willy
