I did try some searches first.
I bought a CNC fusion harbor frieght machine with hopes of learning how to use the machine. My boys are really into CAD so it seems like a good tool to expand on that interest.
OK. I have a Windows 7 machine, had to put a Parallel port card which is B800 port. I have downloaded the demo of Mach4 per ARTSOFT's recommendation to see if I like it. I can't seem to find where to get to the port configurator since a standard port is 378. I believe that is why my machine will not even jog at this point.
Additionally I see in the port thread I need the Darwin driver but am having a hard time trying to figure out how to install it on the Mach 4 software. That coul have something to do with it as well.
Please forgive my ignorance and stupidity once I get the feel for it I should be fine. Just trying something new for my boys.
Thanks
Steve
