Try changing the Active State to Low and see if that makes a difference.

Something else to try is changing your pin allocations in Motor Outputs to …

X Axis – Enabled – Step Pin#2 – Dir Pin# 3
Y              “                      4                5
Z              “                      6                7

I have to do some work now so I may be away from the forum untill tomorrow - perhaps someone else can chime in on this problem.

Tried that - still no change.

Could you run DriverTest.exe (Mach3 folder) and post the results ?

Just got a message after a few minutes that said test completed and on OK button to close the dialogue.

The results look just fine but that version does not give all the information. You need to upgrade to a later version of Mach3 - I suggest version 3.043.062 which can be downloaded from the Mach3/ folder in the FTP downloads section here:- http://www.machsupport.com/software/downloads-updates/

I believe the new version can be installed over the top of your existing version but keep a copy of your existing .xml file or a note of your settings in case they are not preserved and need to be re-entered.

Hi tweakie,
I have acquirea "new" old PC with built in parallel port.  I will download the newer version and install it on there then report back!

I will keep my fingers crossed. 

Tweakie.

I will chime in here..... the step ports and direction ports need to be assigned to port 1 for all of them.  So all those zeros I circled, change them to 1

Another thing is that unless you have documentation telling you otherwise, I have always seen motor pinouts like this
X step 2 dir 3
Y step 4 dir 5
Z step 6 dir 7

I have seen a few chineese ones a bit different though.

Excellent catch Fixittt I think the missing port 1 entries have been the problem.
