Hi All
I seem to remember reading that a Printer cable will not work with mach3 and that you need a CNC cable is this true. I can't get my CNC G704 to do anything. I can't jog it, it wont run the G code, nothing I changed out the Automation Tech cable out with a printer cable. and still nothing. I went through and check all the setup config settings to make sure I didn't screw some thing up. When the controller is on all the steppers get warm from holding current. I have ohmed out all the cables ever thing is tight and good. Checked all the voltages. I have not used the machine in over 6 weeks because I had shoulder surgery. I don't have any kids at home or my wife didn't mess with ( I asked boy did that cause a flap):nono:. Where should I start looking? What should I look for first? I have been messing with it all day today try to get it to work.
Than for any help.
