Ok so I had a Xylotex 4 axis control board running my cnc for probably 5 yr's now , well I bought a gecko G540 to replace that system.
That setup ran great no issue's at all. But I kept wanting to change it for the gecko. So I sell the Xylotex and..............
Well I finally got around to doing it and I can't get this thing to work at all.
Here's what I have done so far.
1. New LPT cable thinking that my old one was an issue.
2. Checked port settings: 0378 same as before
3. setup computer which is a Dell optiplex GX280 to EPP mode.
4. Checked pins on back of computer to make sure they were working
5. Checked and triple checked my wiring and current set resistors to make sure nothing was touching.
6. Won't come out of default unless I turn the charge pump switch to the OFF position.
Now mind you I simply disconnected the Xylotex and tried hooking up Gecko.
What I get with the Gecko is Y,Z,A, axis motors only move one way X axis doesn't even move.
I've searched on here for HOUR'S at similar problems. But none quite like mine.
Now my printer port is built in to the mother board which I've heard might be the issue but...................
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!
