Thanks Ivan,
    We will call this the standard for now until we get the root problem hammered out. Thanks for testing it for us.

Hey Ivan,
     Glad to hear you got the MPG straight. To pulll up or close the MPG screen just hit your Tab key.

LOL, have a good one and let us know how it works out for you. Pay close attention to all of the settings in the plug-in config screen shoot. Also, make sure when you set the type of encoder, ( current axis setting) you are on the same axis you are wiring it too.

I just wired 5VDC from my PC power supply and a ground. i wired the A to the A terminal on the G100 A Axis, and the B to the B terminal on the G100 A axis. I then went into Config plug-ins, set it up there, flashed to the G100. I then wento to ports and pins, MPG's and encoders. It likes multi step best on mine at about 10%. I have attached some pics to help explain.

Hey Ivan, mine is doing it as well. I'm using the latest plugin, Mach, and firmware as you are. I use proximity switches, two on each axis. One doubles as a home. I only found this after I tryed homeing about 20-30 times in a row. Art is looking at the problem, I'm not sure it is a Mach problem.

A good friend of mine just used one of those about 2 weeks ago on a retrofit, Cam Tech. I like that little case a lot. I just got my new cabinet put together with slide out panels. It works good but was a pain to wire. LOL Here is a link to mine.

MPG=Yes  Mine seems to work best in multi step mode with the rate set to 10%. Step/velocity does work, but not perfect. My mill is set up so that my knee only moves about 10% of the X & Y. In step/vel. I haven't be able to tune it so that .001 = .001 yet, but still trying.
