thank you Brian Barker for the tip. I have viewed a couple of the videos and loaded the Mach 3 program. Yes I rebooted after installation. I have plugged in my old MAX-NC-10 and all that happens is the spindle motor takes off and the X, Y and Z steppers remain dormant and de-energised.
I think I need to assign the printer port pins to the respective MAX-NC-10 pins.
I do not recall receiving any wiring information with the MAX-NC-10 when I bought it - just a floppy of the driver code - it came assembled. Can anyone point me to where I can find the appropriate mapping of MACH 3 settings to MAX-NC-10 hardware pins.
BTW, what is the MAX-NC-10 "WAVE DRIVE" tick box in the configuration screen?
thanks
Brian
