General Mach Discussion / Re: Motors not moving in Motor Tuning Menu

Hi,
those RnR USB boards have a very poor reputation.

There is almost no information about them. If you search the forum you will find hundreds of people who struggled
and failed to get them to work. You may also find some who did get them going and maybe you could ask them.
Good luck.

If you want a decent external controller I could not recommend any Chinese made boards. There are plenty of good US/European
made boards which work as advertised AND you get GREAT manufacturers support.

If you decide on a UC100 don't buy one of the rippoff Chinese made copies on EBay or Amazon, buy direct from CNCDrive
or their nominated distributor. You don't want a rippoff they just don't work lie the real thing.

Thanks for the recommendations Joe. Guess I have to stop on buying and testing those china bobs. I just ordered 57CNC just now. seems the most economical option for me since I plan on moving to mach4. What about drivers? Are wantai china drivers ok?

I just recently purchased a new usb BOB i wanted to test (RnR motion I think) for Mach3. All axis are moving except in motor tuning menu when I press the Up and Down arrows. Not sure what I am missing here. I don't have this issue with my old BOB using parallel port.
