I was on this forum a few weeks ago trying to get my mill up and running with Rutex and Campbell. After discovering at least one bad board and probably two, I decided to punt that system and start over with new components.
I now have PMDX 126C, Gecko 320 (not x), and of course the latest version of Mach 3. With some fiddling around, I was able to get all three axes working and ran some of the wizards successfully.
Then I decided to start hooking up the error stuff. Wired up the y-axis according to PMDX faq sheet and then couldn't get the estop to turn off or the outputs to enable. After a lot of fooling around, I decided to drop back and see if the original config still worked. Took the error circuitry out, put the err/res jumper back on the Gecko module. I still have the same situation. Outputs won't enable. I've check wiring multiple times and there's nothing amiss there.
I am able to jog all three axes when the switch register is configured to test mode, but that takes Mach 3 out of the loop. For some reason, Mach 3 isn't allowing outputs to enable.
I did reload the xml file, bringing that back to the original config.
Suggestion for what to try next? I don't think anything is actually broken; it's acting like some kind of user or config error.
thanks, rex
