    Mach3 + smoothstepper + PDMX-109

    I recently purchased a PMDX-109 for addtional outputs. Does anyone have any idea how to get this working with Mach3?

    In Mach3, I've got port 2 enabled. In ports&pins, I've got output signals #7-14 configured to use port #2, pin 2-9.

    I've got the PMDX-109 plugged into Port 2 on the Smoothstepper and on the PMDX-109, I have the jumper configured to 'enable by power on' which should allow me to test the relays on the board by setting the port hi or low.

    If I look at the SmoothStepper Device Monitoring window, I can see the ports active when I set the outputs to 'Active Low'.

    Any help would be appreciated!!!!

    Well, after a bit more digging, it appears that it doesn't matter if I have port 2 enabled in mach3 or not.

    I've confirmed that if I run a quick VB ActivateSignal(OUTPUT), I do see it very briefly reflected in the ESS Data Monitoring window. However, still no joy on the card itself.
