Galil / Re: Galil controller compatability (what works with the plugin)

I don't know why you had problems with the plugin, as it has been at version 4.4 for a good while now. Neither Kenny nor myself have updated the website.
To run a servo, the plugin needs the motor type to be set to either "servo" or "servo reversed" and the stepper jumpers on the Galil for that axis need to be open. Also, the KP, KI, and KD parameters need to be burned in the NVRAM.
Verify that you can get axis movement in SmartTerm or Galil Tools before trying to configure the Mach plugin. Please read the plugin documentation about turning on debug output and send us a GalilDebug.txt file if you continue having problems.
