i am sending 2 pics ,one is the LPT type which i had to use a USB to Parallel CNC Motion Controller to be able to connect to my laptop which i am also going to include it!
and second one which is NVUM is my current breakout board...the NVUM is the USB controller
by the way another reason i did use the NVUM is because the first one which was supposed to be 5 axis ,only 4 axis of it worked...not all 5 axis...
i also have another BIG problem! which i had it in both controllers ,and thats when in mach3 they say in home and limits ,you can reserve the axis ,but for me ,it did NOT work ! why is that??to be able to change the z axis ,in the ports and pins , motor output ,by checking or Unchecking the certain axis ,i was able to change the axis direction to work in reserve...
now these things that i say ,are they a part of this ? do these add up? maybe because i am connecting to mach 3 with a laptop(using the USB port ) its happening?
should i switch to mach 4??? instead??? i can give u more info if u need ! i just need help sir ! thank U Russ ,God bless you
