    30/40 machine axis dont move?

    Hello, brand new to posting here, and new to cnc, so not sure if this is the best forum to post my question. I just purchased a new 30/40 cnc machine from China, China Zone to be exact. I cant get the x,y, and z axis to move ? I wondered if due to long shipping distance, would they lock down the axis from moving during the shipping. Any ideas would be great, just loaded my mach3, Controller turns on, spindle turns...but nothing else

    Thanks,
    Robert

    You will have to copy the correct Driver ( a '.dll' file ) for YOUR Break Out Board into your Mach3/plugins folder and restart Mach3, before Mach3 will recognise your board.
    Did you get any software or a download link with your purchase?

    If not you will have to open your case to identify your board so you can get it yourself.

    If its USB machine, this is a common board:

    Otherwise, post some pics of your board and we should be able to point you in the right direction.
