Is there a mach profile out there somewhere for the G320 gecko drives and the mini I/O breakout board?

If not, does this make sense?

Active low for both step and direction.

E-stop on the mini I/O breakout board jumpered.

Any other input would be appreciated because. The Gecko drives are controlling the motors, but not responding to the computer inputs.

Curious to see the answer on this one. Sounds like the drives are holding the servos in position, but not listening to Mach3?

Best,

I recieved help from the makers of the I/O board - CandCNC. They have a profile for their mini-I/O board posted on their Yahoo site. After properly installing the profile I was ready to go.

Funny thing though. The board was supposed to come with instructions and a CD containing the necessary profile among other things. The retailer omitted these when teh board was shipped this past July. Now the Mini-I/O board is obsolete.

I guess that just means that it has been replaced with a new and better although more expensive brake out board.

Any way, I'm off exploring my latest problem - trying to get a AMD dual core bare bones comuter with a PCI card parallel port to run Mach. The Mach driver test keeps saying "too fast."
