Hey Gang,
Yes it is me again needing more help.
Got my repaired board back from Jeff, great service!!! Also, got a new board just in case I let the smoke out again!!!
Anyhow, this is what I have so far. Working on my lathe now, I have it all wired up( Smoke still intact). The motors lock up good and tight( yes, the smoke is still in there) but I get no movement at all. So I check the port settings on the PC, 0378 is what I have and that is what Turbocnc calls for. So I was thinking that my cable from the printer port is not wired correctly. The display says the axis's are moving, but they are not.
So, how can I check that the ribbon to the Priniter port is correct, and what can I do to correct this, if in fact that is the problem.
I have tried swapping the wires from side to side, still no movement.
As always, many thanks for the help
