Hey guys,
I built a windows 10 based system. 32 bit with a PCI card Parallel port. Here's a quick run down on the setup process.
I installed Mach 3, following the guide, and after the installation, rebooted as recommended. After boot up, I ran a driver test with the parallel cable unhooked and got an excellent rating. Plugged the cable back in and opened the custom profile I created per the manual and went to ports and pins, and set up just X for a test run to make sure I did everything correctly. The breakout board showed P4 is X pulse and P5 is X direction. I entered 4 into Pin 4 and 5 into Pin 5. Reset E stop and jog x. Mach 3 shows x moving back and forth along with my keys but nothing on the actual stepper.
At this point, I believe I need to look at the breakout board and the driver wiring unless someone recognizes where I've gone amiss. I've attached a pic of the breakout board and the driver hooked up and the schematic of the Breakout Board. What would be the next step in troubleshooting here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
