Progress report. Works on the WIN-XP MACH3 PC sitting by the mill. It's a dual boot PC that also does LinuxCNC. I'lm already working on the LinuxCNC side of ModIO interfacing.
So since the WIN-7 system in my office was giving me trouble I did the following.
Copied over the WIN-XP C:/MACH3 folder onto a USB stick.
Copied that MACH3 folder onto C:/MACH3 after remaining the old MACH3 folder to MACH3-old
Ran MACH3.
Guess what. Now the ModIO MPG works when I run the same MACH3 G3616-parport config that works on WIN-XP with real hardware.
What doesn't work, and that's kind of confusing, is the Motor Tuning. Click on that and nothing happens. No dialog with motor parameters. This works on the WIN-XP system. No error messages. Just no tuning dialog.
I'm going to guess it's somehow off the visible screen. But where? And how do I bring it back?
Thanks
John
