Thank you hood,
  I am on a pmdx-126 board with gecko drivers. what is confusing me is when i hook the a drive to the z i get all motion. so i am wondering if it a software program. I am only getting movement in one direction hooked up to the A drive. it is on a smoothstepper ethernet system. I am a bit of a rookie so itf you can tell me what the xml is i will be gald to get that. Thank you SO much-Andy

General Mach Discussion / a axis /ports and pins??

« on: September 11, 2013, 12:01:21 PM »

evrything is functioning (even the a axis) however the a axis only will move 1 direction. i hooked it up to the z axis and got both direcions out of it so i am assuming it is in my settings. any ideas on how to diagnose where it is or how to fix this problem, it is all i lack and i am tearing what little hair i have out trying to fix this.

                                                                           Thanks verry much,
                                                                                      Andy

General Mach Discussion / help. config problem??

« on: May 06, 2013, 12:42:48 PM »

I have a system using mach 3 and for some unkrown reason it crashed the other day. defore this it was working perfectly. after that I had to reconfigure everything. now when i try to engrave text i get a serries of circles in the middle of the program. I use bobcad v.25 and until this crash all was well. when i run a simulation in bobcad all is well.it goes to hell in a handbasket in mach.any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.-Andy

SmoothStepper USB / Re: ess mach 3 and win 8

« on: April 16, 2013, 12:21:29 PM »

Jeff,
  the machine has movement in test mode. mach 3 shows movement, but no table movement. with my limited knowledge I am trying to figure out how to configure a pmdx-126 board properly for my Ethernenet smooth stepper. any advise to point me in that direction would help greatly. I have read what i have found on it but have not figured it out at this point. Thanks for your help!

Cool Thanks Jeff that was actually a ton of help. the FT error was telling me that i did not have a ftp server set up on this computer and it turned out to be a firewall problem. I'll keep you posted.....Thanks a lot-CAM
