Title: Machine settings and getting started
Post by: shopmaster1 on October 01, 2016, 01:49:34 PM

I had to replace the HDD running my mill with mach 3 installed amd running fine. I now have a new HDD with my licensed copy of mach 3 installed and running but I am going to need help in configuration of the software for my machine. I have a Shopmaster Eldorado Bridge Mill with a Camtronics CNC stepper system controller. I wrote down most of the configuration settings once and changed to these settings in the configuration tab, but am getting no movements when testing from the MDI screen. The reset button is reset. Can anybody help?
Thanks

In you configuration:

1.You haven't defined / enabled any of the axes in ports and pins.
 I know nothing about your mill.
 Post information on the mill with specifics about that mill.

2.Not sure that the motor tuning is correct.
  I know nothing of your controller. Post information on it.

Until then,

RICH
