hello I am a CNC newbie, and i just converted or in the process of converting my HF44991 milling machine to CNC. I got the CNCrouterparts 3 axis kit.
i wired everything according to the instructions i found on their website and everywhere else. i was using my laptop because it worked for the xylotec driver which burned out. so i got a gecko g540 with mach3.
anyways i bought a desktop computer so i can put the parallel port to EPP and downloaded the xml file from the gecko website. still no luck. i can hear the motors bit no movement. my parallel cable is the correct one its a straight pin to pin db25 cable. i think my configuration is wrong. wheneveri try to jog the motors there is no movement.
can someone send me screen shots of their configuration or walk me through step by step ? i need help
