Installed a Rosewell RC304 PCI card in PC, using only the 1 port. Using CW8060 driver and 5 axis USB 5v BOB.
This is only for the 1200ozin Z axis.
PC parallel port(printer port) LPT 1 is connected to a Gecko 540. For X,Y,A.
Ive tried both LPT ports 2 (2070) and 3 (2060) in Mach 3. No stepper movement. It does have current.
Then ckd pin #7, Z axis DIR, end of the cable coming from PC 5v. But when I hit up/down keyboard arrow keys, still get 5v.
Tried Mach3 Z jog buttons, I have a touchscreen, still 5v.
Shouldnt I get 0v using either keyboard or jog ?
Mach3 setup- Z ckd, Pin 6, Pin 7, ckd, ckd, 1, 1.
