Which motion controller are you using ? (ie. what is attached to your USB cable).

The controller should have an associated plugin which needs installing as described in the Mach3 manual.  Do you have that?  If not you will get nowhere.  I use UC100 motion controllers with Mach3 and they work fine so it is possible.

I looked at the website and they don't mention a plugin anywhere as far as I can see - usually there would be a download or support area from which you can download it.  It might have come on a CDRom or memory stick?

Well I think that's your problem, no Mach3 plugin.  Ask the supplier.

You need to copy the NcUsbPod.dll into your Mach3 / Plugins folder.
You can download the .dll from here; https://www.cdxhctech.com/html/edownloads/220.html
