Ok so this is weird. I was failing the com stress test, so I went through the tech bulletins multiple times and everything appeared fine but I would still fail the com stress test. Well I decided to try plugging in the relay board and rerun the test. Well after doing this it passed the com stress ...

You don't understand.... You need a db25 breakout board for the acorn step and direction signals. This has nothing to do with what is on your old machine.

For your com issue, run the pc tuner if you have not done that already as a first step.


Sorry I misunderstood your last reply. Yes I ...

It will be a learning curve, but a good one. Reverence the install manual a lot. Get a breakout board for the db25 if you don't already have one. Those will need 5v to the drivers pulse and dir + and the puls and dir - go to the db25 board.

From what I understand getting Mach 3 to run on a new PC can ...

I'm hoping that once I have all the lead screw and step information in the setup this will behave like I would expect. Anyway I've attached a copy of the report from my machine.

Ok so I'm currently transitioning from Mach 3 to CNC 12 and I have a few questions. As of right now I have the board and the software up and running on the bench. Figured I would get familiar with how CNC 12 functions before I take the mill offline to do the conversion. But I noticed that when I jog ...
