Hi there,
I have been setting up mach3 on a laptop, but couldn't run
with stability-it always stalled after a few minutes. So I purchased a used
desktop, punched in all the identical settings that I had on my laptop,
and of course, it doesn't work the same.
The desktop would pop up a message if I hit the shift key 5 times in a row
(which I often do to rapid jog) that said something about a hot key?? it
gave the option to delete this so, I did.
Did I mess up the way the computer sends printer port info to the
Geckos? I've tried many combinations of step and direction pin assignments,
but no combination will run correctly.
The closest I can get is when I hold the up arrow (x-) and the left or right
arrow (z+ , z-) down at the same time, the z drive runs roughly.
I think the problem is in ports&pins, but I go round and round because I'm not sure.
could it be the computer's printer output is setup with the wrong assignments for
each pin?
Thanks,
Glenn
