Let me make it more clear for you.
1. I have the ethernet cable connected, along with the usb 5v power, and on the back of the control box it's connected with a parallel port.
so you have the bob conected to the ESS in port 1 of the ESS
2. Mach3 IP Config is set up and it recognizes it in Mach3, but since the PINS etc aren't configured properly it won't move the machine (That's my assumption at least)
correct
I need help with as many of the axes that I can. I'm trying to be careful as not to set the wrong PINs in the wrong places, just incase it might mess something up.
While talking to CNC they said it shouldn't be necessary for a breakout board, but if that's not the case I would like to know. (If I can get it to work at least somewhat, I can work with that until I buy a G540 or something.)
