Mach4 General Discussion / Re: MACH 4 ESS PWM Spindle Control HELP!HELP!

My suggestions…

Check that you are using the versions that Warp9 recommend of;

   Mach4.
   ESS firmware.    
   ESS Mach4 plugin.

https://www.warp9td.com/index.php/gettingstarted/setting-up-the-smoothstepper-and-mach4#MachFourInitialESS_NEW_PLUGIN

Work through the ‘Setting up Step Dir Spindle as an OB axis’ tutorial;

https://www.warp9td.com/index.php/faq/faq-mach4#SpindleButtonsInMachFour

(the manufacturers of your C11 BoB recommend Step/Dir spindle speed control as opposed to PWM and I trust they know best).

Hi Martin,

I think the first thing you should do is download and install Mach3 R3.043.062 (there have been some problems reported with v.066). ftp://anonymous:guest@ftp.machsupport.com/Mach3/Mach3Version3.043.062.exe try it and see if you still get the same problems.

Hi DB,

I made that prototype just thin enough to slip beneath my strings alongside the neck p/u - Unfortunately, it did not improve my playing one bit

Something I should perhaps point out at this stage is that the C11GS BoB requires Step/Direction signals to control spindle speed not PWM as you are trying and have mentioned in the post Title.

I feel your pain and you are not alone.
However, the guys at Warp9 are really working hard to get all the tutorial documentation up-to-date with the latest Mach4 releases and all the ESS customer related set-up problems are dealt with very swiftly on their forum. Perhaps you should also post details of this problem on their website. https://www.warp9td.com/index.php/kunena/index

Hi Dan,

Not that I can remember but I think all the information is in these two threads somewhere if you have the time to browse. Maybe quicker to ask Jeff directly on the previous mentioned forum though.

Which OS is the laptop running ?
Is it running a 32 bit or 64 bit OS ?
