Well I finally have all the pieces assembled, but I can't get mach2 to reset the Estop. after much fiddling, I'm wondering if it couldn't be the printer cable?
Using a tester, Pin 1 on one end doesn't map to Pin1 on the other end (tiny little numbers next to the pins). Do I need some sort of special printer cable? And why would this not map directly pin-to-pin?
I'm using bob campbell's breakout board. he supplied me with a ribbon cable with a parallel port connector (female) on one end, and a special socket of some kind that connects onto his board.
I wired my printer cable inbetween.
