I am pulling my hair out! I am very new to CNC and all the nuances that go with it. I have a G0704 mill that I converted to CNC. My electronics are a C10 BOB, KL5056D drivers and a PC running Windows7. I had this running on XP but it was a temp copy of XP so now I only have Windows7. I feel that I have set the parallel port address right and everything else but I get no movement of the steppers and it doesn't seem that the computer is acknowledging the BOB. I looked in the BIOS and the port is enabled and using EPP. If anyone has some ideas please share.....please please please. I have spent the last 8 hours with ZERO to show for it.

64 bit or 32 bit Windows 7. Mach 3 only supports the parallel port via the 32 bit installation of Windows 7.

Oops....sorry I forgot. It is 32 bit. I'm a dumbass because I think the whole time I didn't finish the pinout correctly in Mach3. I set the parameters correctly and it worked like a charm. Got to do my very first CNC operation today and made a circular pocket! To the eye it looks perfect!
