So I have accumulated almost everything for my first cnc build and in testing my electronics I have encountey a problem. My drivers hold my steppers when powered and I have carefully determined how to wire my breakout board and alas hook it all to the pc and I can only sucessfully control nothing. So on further inspection my parallel port is labeled as COM in the device manager, I understand it needs to be LPT OR EPP. So I went into the bios and there is no option to change the type of port it is...so is it a case of bios needs changed aka new board or just a different parrallel port? Or dare I load Linux CNC or will I still have the same problem?
