Title: A Dumb Question?? Maybe
Post by: backyardcnc on September 04, 2007, 04:25:43 PM

Hi All,

I have been running MACH3 with good success for some time on a small router with XYLOTEX driver. I am now doing a conversion of a small lathe and to test the mechanicals I used my router driver box to run the new steppers on my lathe. So the odd thing is that if I drive the lathe from MACH3MILL, I can control both X & Z axis normally and all is more or less ok excepting some backlash. However if I run MACH3TURN I cannot control the X axis, Z operates normally but no X movement at all. I have checked the config a dozen times but no luck in finding what I am missing? The motor outputs are all configured the same in mill and turn? What am I not getting here?

Any thoughts or comments appreciated

attach your turn xml and maybe we can find the problem.

EDIT
 you will probably have to rename it to be able to attach it
