hey everyone!
I have the cnc4pc pendant seen here-
http://www.cnc4pc.com/Store/osc/prod...roducts_id=158
and the card seen here-
http://www.cnc4pc.com/Store/osc/prod...roducts_id=159
I have a pci card for my second parallel port and windows says its functioning fine. windows says that the I/O range is DFF0-DFF7 and underneath DFE0-DFE7
Does this mean that my "port 2" in mach should be "0xff0"???
Also, my port 2 is enabled and the 2-9 pins are checked as imputs.
I have the MPG connection card pluged into the new pci parallel card in my desktop and the MPG pluged into that. I have the card power plugged into a spare usb port for the needed 5v.
I downloaded the brains from cnc4pc and installed in the correct folder.
I followed the instructions here-
http://cnc4pc.com/Tech_Docs/guide_fo..._over_LPT2.htm
to the letter! all the selections for ports/pins etc have been duplicated exactly.
I have made sure that jog mode is selected to "on" on the mach 3 mill "program run" screen.
I am now totally stumped. I dont know what im doing wrong.
I do have a http://www.cnc4pc.com/Store/osc/prod...roducts_id=161 board installed. but its not actually controling anything yet. just hooked up to act as an optioisolation failsafe.
Any help you guys can provide will be appriciated.
Thanks,
Nate in Meechigan...
