General Mach Discussion / Homing Issues

« on: March 31, 2024, 04:07:25 PM »

I am having issues with my homing of my X axis ( slaved to A axis), Everything works fine when jogging, but when homing the X the slave motor (A) runs but the X does not. I have the motors slaved and tuned the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

General Mach Discussion / Motors not running in negative direction

« on: March 24, 2024, 05:06:28 PM »

I am hooking up my diy cnc, after getting everything setup I tested it. When jogging the axis, the Z axis won't move in the positive (up) but will move in negative (down) the X and Y won't move in the negative but does move in the positive. The A axis (slaved to X axis) runs in both directions fine. Sometime I can get the Y and Z axis moving correctly by moving the X in both directions but if I move the X axis they won't move. Looking for any help, Thanks

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / X Box problems

« on: November 14, 2015, 11:38:14 AM »

I had the Xbox controller running fine on my windows xp, that computer died. Now I am running a Windows 7 32 bit.
I have downloaded the plugin (when I did, it downloaded as a .dll i placed it in my mach plugin file) Then I went to the DirectX link, downloaded "DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2008)" I also tried 2010. When I launched that file it prompted me to extract files, I did then ran the DXSETUP. When my Xbox controller is hooked up, the upper left quadrant is lit. Windows recognizes it and I am able to check and configure  it in mach3 but I can not get it to work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
