If you've slaved it, it should work fine.

Questions...
Have you got the latest plugin, check on the manufacturers website. Cncdrive

Post your profile and someone will have a look at it

You can ask the question on the cncdrive forum website, Balazs is very proactive on there and he knows his product well.

I have it slaved with the Y axis In Mach but it does not work. Just cant figure out why

Yes I have. I had this system up and running on another computer with XP. I was wondering if the uc100 might do things different. Directions are kinda vague.

Hello, I have a 3 axis system with 4 drive motors. X, Y, Z, and A slaved to the Y. I have it set up in Mach3.  A is slaved to Y. Restarted Mach afterwords. I have had this setup operating on another computer until the computer quit working. I have another desktop hooked up now and just running on demo until I can get it working properly, then I will transfer the licence over.
 I can get the x, z, to operate in both direction the Y will move both directions but I get no movement out of the Slaved "A" motor.

Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank

General Mach Discussion / Transfer Licence to a new computer

So, I have been struggling with getting my Machine configured to a new computer. I figured out that most of the problem was the computer I was trying to use had a motherboard isue I guess. So that particular Dell POS is going to meet with a pound of Tannerite!! Anyway, I have another pc that I am in the process of setting up and is running in Demo mode right now. My question is, How do I transfer Mach3 from one pc to the other and how do I transfer the licence?

I realize this post has been inactive for a while but I am having the same issue as Picengraver was having. I have had my machine up and running on a Compac with XP and worked great. computer quit working so I aquired a Dell with XP and have issues with the parallel port so I have added a port and still no luck. Now I have bought a UC100 and it seems to be working with Mach3 but no motion out of motors. I have tried a new motor driver, no change, New BOB now change. any suggestions?
