General Mach Discussion / Set-up question -- output enable LED toggled
« on: December 20, 2009, 02:11:10 PM »
Hi Folks,
I'm just getting started in this so my apologies if this is in the wrong forum section.
I've just set up a 3-axis table and I'm having problems getting things up and running. Right now I think the source of the problem is that as soon and I hit the reset button in Mach 3 in the diagnostic page, the 1, 2, and 3 Enable LEDs in the "Output" section all toggle red. I'm not sure what's going on here. I've installed a port monitor software and the direction ports seem to work fine, but the step ports don't seem to modulate when I jog the tool.
Anyone have any insights on what might be going on here? Any information would be greatly greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
David
