Mach 3 limit switch troubles??

[jarr88]

Today i when to hook up my limit switches trought the parallel port in the back of my logitrol cnc controller.

And i set my port and pins to 10 and 13 in the mach 3 config .for x and -x and set it for active high. so i conected all connection from the limit switches to the parallel port in the back of my controller and got nothing..The volt meter only shows only # 9 pin having my 5 v power the rest show zero even when the ports where selected in mach 3 to be active high meaning it is drawing 5 v to that pin .And i cant get 5v to be present on # 10 11 12 13 .Could there be something in Mach 3 that is inabling that pin to be active or could my controller 25 pin be messed up. It is kinda weird cause everything else works..Got any ideas what it could be???? Thanks

Do the limit switches work?

Can you post some info on the logitrol controller? Is it a breakout board?

yep all the limit switches work i am testing the parallel ports out puts to the limit switches and 5v shoulds be coming out of ports of 10 11 13 but i only and always have power to pin 9.

the logical cnc controller is here ..http://www.lowcostcncretrofits.com/7...ntrollers.html

They don't really have any info on their website. I'd give them a call.

Is the db25 accsess for this drive onboard with the drive itself or is it a seperate board.
