I recently purchased an ESS to hopefully smooth the movement on my old Novakon mill. The control box has a C11G BOB, and when using the computer parallel port, everything works. When I plug in the ESS, and use the ESS profile with the ESS driver set, I can't get any movement. On the plus side, when I activate the probe, it works! Inputs are still valid but outputs aren't working...

One thing I noticed is that the active pins are completely different between the ESS (1st pic) and PP driver (2nd pic). Just to check, I used an XML file compare tool and the files are very similar. Ports and Pins config in Mach3 is the same.

I'm stumped and frustrated at this point... Any suggestions or help? Does the PP cable for the old NM200 swap pins?

Thanks,
Josh
