Chuck, OK so Mach3 appears to run. If you watch the status LEDs for the gas or coolant, they should change when clicking the respective button on/off. Measure the corresponding pin on the printer

The problem is, I can’t get anything to move even though the DRO is saying things are moving. As I mentioned in the earlier post, I have switched out the complete controller box which I had a spare

Yeah, I’ve checked two of them so far and have not found one. There are some strange things going on, check the post that I just replied back to John -sent from my iphone --

John, I followed the procedure you outlined, and I am not getting any flashing red light on the output 1 when I click “spindle toggle“. Strange thing is, when I click on the “flood toggle” I

Mike, That was my thought At first, then I remembered this little guy doesn’t have any limit switches on it. I’m wondering if something could’ve happened to the parallel port itself within the

I have a TAIG desktop Mill with a PMDX – 122 motion control board that utilizes a parallel port. The machine has always run without problem and in the middle of a 15 minute milling job it stopped
