SmoothStepper USB / Re: Ethernet SmoothStepper Configuration

I figured it out, it is all right. Thank you though. The Input Port Pins were out of order, which is why the estop and axises weren't communicating from Mach3 to the Mill.

Finally got a chance to power up the mill and try out the new ethernet smoothstepper.
I launched Mach3, selected the appropriate device, and all the LEDs on the ESS are blinking showing communication.

However, there is an issue and not sure what it is. The mill is on, mach3 is open, and ESS is connected... but I am not getting any interaction between the mill and Mach3.
I tried to turn off the blinking emergency reset switch so I can ref all the axis home, but nothing happens  . Also, none of the emergency switches are set on the mill.

Have any thoughts of what it could be?

Hood,

Thank you for replying so quickly with helpful information. Next time I power up the Mill I will try out the new settings.

SmoothStepper USB / Ethernet SmoothStepper Configuration

« on: August 29, 2012, 05:08:04 PM »

Hello Community,

Using a Syil X6 Mill with Mach3.
Switched from a parallel port connector to an Ethernet SmoothStepper.
The most up to date plug-in is installed from the Warp9TD website.

I am able to connect to Mach3 and all the LEDs are blinking. My question lies in the PlugIncontrol Menu.
Attached are the two setup windows. One is the Configuration Dialog and the other is the Data Monitoring Status.

Please does anyone have any information on the recommended settings for these two setup windows or any documentation that may assist me???

Thank you,

Kevin
