General Mach Discussion / Can't remember anything! XYZ will not jog
« on: October 19, 2010, 02:42:17 PM »
Anybody, 
Just tried to fire my old homemade CNC back up after three years to do a simple wood project. In the meantime my hardrive died. I was running Mach 2 because of the antiquated PC Pavilion I was using. Got fixed and now I have lost my setting.
I am using the breakout board by Bob Campbell and downloaded the Sound logic XML file that I was using before.
I can hear the motors engage when I load a simple circle (dxf). Green light engages fine and G-code uploaded.
My problem is that I can't jog any where. I see circle but not movement on XYZ manually.
I'm not sure of the tuning either. Default is 8000. I think mine was much higher. I am using a 10 TPI screw. Can't remember crap.
I've got to have a setting wrong somewhere. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Scheek
