General Mach Discussion / Re: Newbie cant tune motors - Gecko540 & Mach3

Thanks !!!
So far the best settings for velocity and accel are 70 and 15 repsectively - going lower results in no rotation. Attached are the Mach3 settings I'm using, the 9pin wiring for the G540 and a link to a quick video showing the motion I'm getting.
Is there a simple way to bypass the computer/Mach3 and activate the drive directly. I'm thinking it will help isolate whether its a hardware or computer/software issue.
Thanks again - Steve
