Hi,
My old laptop just died and Im trying to use another very old laptop to control my machine now.
I know the printer port must be working, because when I change any settings to the port "LPT1"in device manager, I hear my stepper motors clunk.
However, Even though I have the correct port assigned in Mach (0x378), and have set the correct pin numbers for my stepper driver board, The motors are not recieving any signal on command from Mach3.
I don't know if it has anything to do with the "interupt" settings for the port in XP's device manager, or if the problem is with a setting in Mach3 itself.
Any help is hugely appreciated.
