In need of some serious help! Total newbie!!!

About 3 weeks ago now, I purchased a cnc second hand. It appears as if it was some kind of kit by keling. I have gone through everything and re wired, made sure everything is good. I am using Windows Xp pro, mach3 and using the parallel port, but it seems as if the computer is not communicating with the cnc. The cnc has power, the motors are locking up but it will not jog. I'm not a super computer guy, but can get myself into trouble, but after messing with this for 3 weeks I have decided to come get some help. Thanks Nick!

Is the computer 64bit? Seems I had trouble when I had switched to 64bit and had to get a CAT-5 interface, then everything started working. I think the website is https://cncdrive.com/UC400ETH.html - this is what fixed my communication problems. I still had other issues with setup, but often find my answers here on the forum. Good Luck!

After 3 weeks you probably know your way around better than you think

What Breakout Board are you using it most likely is just a configuration problem either software ( Ports & Pins ) or Breakout Board , Photos are good
