General Mach Discussion / Re: First startup motors not running

Hi John,
Just checked your .xml and cannot find anything really bad. Just a couple of suggestions...
Uncheck A Axis is Angular (General Config).
In Motor Tuning set Step Pulse to 2 minimum & save change.
Try changing Step Pulse to Active Low in Motor Outputs.
Try changing Enable1 to Active High in Output Signals.
Change just one item at a time and try it before changing another item - you know the fault-finding drill.
(Your Velocity and Accelerations are low but that’s OK at this stage, they can be increased later).
I am sure you are aware of this but if you are using an OS later than Win7 or 64 bit then it will never work with the LPT parallel port – you will need an external motion controller.
Tweakie.
