Title: Axes DRO Values Change But Machine Axes Do Not.
Post by: TheNigerian on January 05, 2020, 01:30:39 PM

Help needed please.

I changed from a Dell Optiplex 380 - which had just stopped working - to the HP Elite 8100 and have not been able to get my supplied profile or any other profiles to move the axes with Mach3.

I used the Dell successfully last in 08.2018 with the supplied profile and replaced it in 08.2019.

The attached KT2514 xml file is the modified copy of the original xml file kt2514-Ibrahim-.20

By setting the kernel to 25 KHz and making adjustments to the motor tuning, I got movement in the Z-axis today but none in the Y- and Y axes with KT2514. Shortly thereafter, movement in the Z-axis too ceased.

No doubt I am missing some obvious facts: the axes' DRO readings change but the actual machine axes do not.

All guidance is appreciated.Kindly help me check my settings to determine what I am doing wrong please.

My axes motors are NEMA 23 steppers by Surestep
