When I power on the unit, I can hear it lock and when accessing via the Planet-CNC USB software, I have full control, but nothing is moving/changing when I use Mach4. Could someone please help me diagnose why Mach4 isn't allowing me to control the motors? Below is an image of the control board, where you can see the jumper settings. I know the controller (labeled as JP-3163B) is junk, but I want to ensure I can competantly control the CNC with Mach4 before investing in a Gecko 540 controller. Peripheral wide voltage input,12-24V, and anti-reverse function. USB power supply and peripherals powered phase separation to protect computer security. I've purchased a Mach4 Hobby license, and my Mach4Mill settings profile is attached. MACH3 5 Axis CNC Interface Board Description: Fully support of MACH3 and other computer software support for parallel port control. What I need help with now is getting Mach4 working to control the board. I've been able to perform basic controlling operations using the Planet-CNC USB motion controller software, which means there's a working USB driver installed. I did like many newbies and I purchased a CNC from China (here's the eBay link: ). Hello, I'm completely new to the CNC realm, but I'm excited that there's such a robust community here.
