Hi all. Just signed up because I'm stuck and have nowhere else to turn to.
Here is what I have:
Taig Micromill with Mach3 (recently updated to latest version).
Windows 7 64-bit (no printer port so I bought the breakout board below)
MachForWin64 Kit from Stepper3 LLC (using Ethernet port > printer port > Micromill)
The MachForWin64 Kit is supposedly plug-n-play but it's not working.
The LED indicators light up correctly on the breakout board but when I move the axes using the keys,
I see the movements on screen, but the CNC machine doesn't move at all - not even any clicking sound.
I emailed Stepper3 LLC three times in a two week span but received no reply. I called them but it always goes to voicemail.
Maybe I can do something on the Mach3 end? This is where I'm asking for help.
I was thinking that maybe I have to adjust the Ports and Pins in the configuration but I don't know what I should enter.
Is there a "general" number I should enter in the Motor Outputs, Input Signals, Output Signals tabs?
I've tried entering numbers as shown in the Mach Install Config PDF but that didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
edit: The MachForWin64 User's Guide states this (but I don't know what to enter in the Ports & Pins Config)
On port 1 (the port I'm using that connects to the XYZA on the motor driver)
pins 1 through 9, 14,16 and 17 are output pins and pins 10 through 13 and 15 are inputs
Where and what numbers do I enter in the Ports & Pins? (Step Pin#, Dir Pin#, Step Port, Dir Port,etc)?
