Spindle not turning on/Mach3
« on: October 05, 2021, 05:14:48 PM »
Hello,

I am an IT intern at a small machine shop, and definitely not an expert when it comes to the machines. We have a Bridgeport mill that was being controlled by mach3 on Windows XP when the hard drive died. I reinstalled mach3 on a new XP system with the parallel port driver, and got to the point where we can control the table, but we cannot get the spindle to turn on. It may be a wiring issue, but the spindle worked before the crash so I am thinking it is a config problem. I've attached the xml file as well as pictures of the breakout box and the delta servo drivers. Any help is appreciated.

Also as a note, it does get past the driver test.
