    Need 5v output when mach3 E-stop is on, not off

    I am wiring up to use G213V drivers which need 5v to disable the motor drivers when the Mach3 E-stop is pressed. Right now Mach3 outputs 5v on the ENABLE pins when the you click on the RESET to take it out of E-stop mode but doesnt output anything when its in E-stop mode. This is my first experience with Mach3 so go easy on me.

    How do i output 5v when its in E-stop mode only?

    Try changing the Active Low setting on the enable pins.

    Have you gotten anything to work with Mach yet? Could it be that you parallel port is only outputting 3.3v instead of the 5v required?
    A lazy man does it twice.
