General Mach Discussion / New install of Mach3 eval. version not responding to Jog commands
« on: September 06, 2015, 08:50:12 PM »
Hey there Newbee here,
I'm trying out the Mach3 evaluation version, but I'm having trouble getting started. Installed the software and driver. Ran Drivertest.exe and there doesn't seem to be any problems there (excellent signal).
There is no machine connected yet. The problems come in when I try to run the software itself. I'm following the manual, trying simply to "dry run" the software. Hit the Reset button to ready the controller.
I am getting no response in the DROs when I try to Jog or use MDI (or Program screen) to move the spindle.
Is there a configuration step that I missed? Does the EStop pin signal need to be set before Mach3 will let me "move" the spindle?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Really looking forward to start cutting things.
Thx in advance.
