I need help.
I can’t get my motors moving — they are locked.
I suspect that mach3 is not talking to my board at all.
I recently purchased this setup.

http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=328I triple checked all the connections and they seem good. The LEDS on the Hybrid Servo motors are lighting green. They are looked and I can’t move them powered.
The c11 board seems to be lighting up as expected the individual LEDS to the pins are lighting up as I would expect them to, power LEDS are lighting up as is “output” LED.
My ESTOP signal switch works from the SWITCH to the BOARD — but doesn’t seem to be sending a signal from the BOARD to Mach 3.
I am running Windows XP, SP3.
I installed a PCI Serial Port.
The Serial Port is being recognized my Windows XP as LPT 1 and is using
I/O Range: AC00-AC07
I/O Range A800-A807
I installed Mach 3 (it’s currently in demo mode).
I setup up Port 1 in Mach 3 = 0xac0
X AXIS on Port 1 Step Pin # 8 (Step High Active) and Direction Pin # 9 (Dir High Active)
Y AXIS on Port 1 Step Pin # 6 (Step High Active) and Direction Pin # 7 (Dir High Active)
Z AXIS on Port 1 Step Pin # 4 (Step High Active) and Direction Pin # 5 (Dir High Active)
A AXIS on Port 1 Step Pin # 2 (Step High Active) and Direction Pin # 3 (Dir High Active)
ESTOP on Port 1 - Pin 15 (active high)
Output 1 on Port 1 - Pin 1 (active high)
Output 2 on Port 1 - Pin 16 (active high)
Any help would be appreciated including paid phone help.
