Hey yall
First time user to Mach3. I downloaded free version so far. My first machine is a 3 axis home built router, using Probotix electronics. and Planet-CNCUSB software. The machine im currently putting together is another home built machine. It will be primarily a probe digitizer. I have a Probotix PBX-RF breakout board, Sparkfun Big Easy step driver, and HP Nema 17 4 wire stepper.
Couple questions about Mach3 setup. First, does Mach3 have to be registered to have it work? Is there any special setup for the parallel port? I am not able to make the stepper move. My computer is a Win7 machine. 2.9G processor, 4g ram, 300g HD.
