Title: MPG and DSPMC hook up problem
Post by: dresda on February 03, 2013, 01:47:33 PM

When turning the MPG I have off and on signals comming in input 0 & 1 on J5 looking at Vital status screen.
DSPMC plugin set soft encoder, index 2.
Ports and pins, tick MPG#1 leave the rest blank.
No movement, Help.

hi Dresda

in ports and pins MPG setting, did you set the counts per unit to 4?  mach3 needs this setting.

thanks
Rufi

For MPG#1 in Ports and Pins, set Counts/Unit to 4.

make sure in General Config -> Jog Increments in cycle mode, there is no empty slot.  all fields should have some value, like 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01 etc.

tomorrow I will check mpg on a machine and let you know if I find any more step required to setup.

regards
Rufi

Tried it at 4 and no empty spaces for increments in general config still nothing.
