General Mach Discussion / Re: Help! My CNC runs on EMC2, but not Mach3?!?!

« on: August 31, 2011, 01:13:18 PM »

I got the jogging to work.  I don't know why it didn't at first. Yes, the motors will need some tuning, but it has a nice and quick start/stop. 

I didn't have a default port set, just the red X's.  I put "1" in and now it seems to work.

Thanks!

Thanks.  I added "1" to my step and dir ports.  It wouldn't jog, but when pressing buttons, I got movement on the "return" button.  I guess we some type of communication.

I tried adjusting the plus.  Nothing.  

Here's the link to the xml file.

If you don't have a file factory account, you can just click on the "slow download" link in the bottom right hand of the page.

I'll attach my xml when I get home tonight.  In the meantime, yes I have an on board graphics processor.  Is that usually a big issue with mach3?  I spec'ed this computer originally for EMC2 on linux as the motherboard had really low latency.  Last night I got a whole program to run under EMC2 so I know at least the mill and computer hardware are working.

My Taig CNC will respond to jogging and run g-code on the Linux prograM emc2, but not mach3...  

I confirmed the following:

- the driver is working
- the driver test works fine
- my board is an arcsin and has pins 2,4,6 configured for the motor and direction pins configured for 3,5,7. Configured the same way on EMC2
- i use windows 7 32bit professional

i would press the tab key, activate jogging, nothing..  

Any suggestions?
