Hello, i was reading thru all the posts on the maxnc 10. But none seem to help me. Here is my deal:
I purchased a MAXNC about 4 or 5 years ago. used to use it all the time with dos, worked great but was difficuit to use and program with. i havent used the machine for some time (2+ years). I have some projects to do now so i am starting to use it again. I tested the mill to be sure all the drives work. Using the old dos program, i can see all the drives moving correctly.
I wanted a more modern control and programming tool, so i downloaded the MACH3 program and LazyCam. they seem to be great programs!
After loading the software and connecting to the MAXNC, i selected the MaxNC option in the configuraiton menu (for open loop systems). I enered the port address (mine is from a laptop 3bc) and then applied the settings. I restarted the program and loaded a very simple nc file. I perform a reset and start, the program runs and shows the axis moving, but the drives do not move! I have tried using the jog and that does not move the drives either...
Any suggestions?
