Re: All wired up, no movement :( gecko or printer port issue??

still not working, but I made a few changes I think in the right direction....

launched turboCNC in full dos, installed a true +5vdc powersupply to feed the "common", term

measured the step/dir terminals directly (not connected to printer port), measured +5vdc across all 6 terminals

when printer port cable connected, step/dir terminals drop to ~.5vdc

I can no longer turn the leadscrew by hand, which I believe is a good thing.

term 7 is +5vdc
