Recently acquired a 4 axis board TB5650 from Hong Kong. Comes with set up for Mach 3 and works fine with it. When I try to configure the pinouts to the board for Kcam4 however, the Y axis refuses to work. The board uses pin17 as enable,pin 7 as Direction and pin 14 as step. X, Z and A axes work fine. Wondering if there are any pinout incompatibilities or other reasons that might be causing problem.

Pins 14 and 17 are electronically inverted on the PC Parallel port. Try inverting the signals in KCam to straighten them out.
