    Mach3 One stepper motor won't move

    I am replacing my computer on my plasma table. I loaded Mach3 on the new computer set it up with the same setting as the old one. Everything works as it should except one of my motors on the Y axis won't move. I plug in the old computer works fine. HELP!

    Double, triple, quadruple check the pin layout in Mach 3. If that doesn't work, can you swap the ports between the two computers?

    You have 2 Y axis Steppers?
    Have you set one to slave to the other?
