Hi,
I have a High-Z S-720/T from cnc-step with Zero 3 5ch Controller.
It work fine with Windows 10 and the USB Box.

Now I want to let ist run under linuxcnc with the onboard parallel port.
But I hear only some noises from the Motors but it doesn't move any axes.

Have anyone a working configuration for me?

I try in the mainboard BIOS ECP and bidirectional.

Thank you for Help
Chris...

Did you simply import the Mach3 config into Stepconf or start from scratch?

At least noises is _something_. At a guess your step times are too short, or the step polarity needs to be changed.

Well, try longer step times (5000nS normally works) and if that is no help try inverting the polarity of the step pulses in stepconf.

Hi,
its a long time ago, but maybe somebody can use this hint:

The Zero3 Controller from the CNC-Step machines need a Toogle / Watchdog / Charge Pump Signal on LPT1 Pin16 - its a square wave signal about 5 KHz as far as i know, but also the e-stop pin can make this scenario (Pin11).
You can see the watchdog on front leds - the one with "PC" stands for this connection.

Good Luck!
