Mach3 not working


 

This is the second posting on the same problem that I thought had been resolved., But it¡¯s not. ?


I¡¯ve narrowed it down to something that I believe might be causing Mach3 not to work.?

?

Configuration: windowsXP, PMDX122 parallel port motion controller, Taig desk top mill.?

?

Been running this configuration for years and all of a sudden it quit working.?

?

Tried lots of things to get it running again, with no success.?

?

Here is something I think is unusual that may lead to the solution .

?

When I run the diagnostics with Mach3 and I click on the ¡°mist toggle¡°, the red ?light on output #4 flashes on and off. See attached photo.?

?

This should not happen since I do not have output # 4 enabled in the ¡°output list¡±, see attached photo.?

?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

Chuck?

Thanks to Peter Homann, ?output #4 flashing red lhas been explained, and it is working as it should work.?

It is tied to ¡°enable mist¡± ?in ¡°spindle control ¡°.?
