Trying to test control box
Just finished wiring the control box and prepping for testing. Need some guidance on mach4 setup, can anyone lend some advice.
So far I have the software installed, the parallel port connected and motors wired for testing. Not sure where in mach4 the breakout board gets setup. At this point I have the hardware connected and software installed but no setup to make them communicate.

Re: Trying to test control box
No, if using the parallel port, you need the Darwin plugin, which is $20 I think.

Still no successful testing. The conflicting device in the picture on post is likely the cause. Will troubleshoot that first and try testing again.
