Hello-
I had to upgrade my laptop that I use with my machine and now I cannot get mach4 to communicate with my machine. Previously I connected the old laptop to the controller using a parallel port (DB25) and everything worked fine for years. My new laptop only has USB connections. When connecting a USB to DB25 adapter to the controller, nothing happens, the stepper motors do not move. I have confirmed the license was installed correctly. The issue seems to be a port issue on my new laptop but have no idea how to resolve. Any direction or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am working with a TAIG2019CNC with MACH4 and the parallel port addon.
