I think I got it.

I uninstalled Mach... then reinstalled it... but unchecked XML's in the installation process.

Downloaded Mach3 .66 on new computer.... then tried copying old XML, and put it in the Mach3 folder.

That didn't work... none of my old settings are in the new computer.

I then copied complete Mach3 folder from old computer... put it in new computer... still no old settings.

Why isn't my old XML taking? What causes that?

Don't worry about it to much.

There's gain, damp,  and limit.

Turn your limit up to about 75% of full, gain and damp to 50% of full.

Then you'll run your machine and tune servos in by listening and feel.

There's no other way to describe it then to just do it yourself.

Try and get your limit to full. That way your servos will be getting max Volts.

ok, I think I have everything covered except the third ribbon cable... as seen in Homann's pic... directly to the left of the ethernet cable. (#2, #3 ribbon cables are for the parallel ports)

I have none of those ribbon cables. Do I need to purchase 3 of those?

Looking at this again...

I see I have to provide a 5v power source.... don't have a clue in how to do that? Can I grab something from inside the computer?

I see you have 3 ribbon cables attached to smoothstepper. I see no documentation on where these go or how to hook them up?

I currently have 2 parallel port cables going from my computer to CNC cabinet. Am I still using these Parallel port cables?

I'm so confused. Sorry for being a dumba$$.

If I mount it between the two... do I ground it somewhere?

Thanks for quick reply!

I just purchased the ESS. Where are you guys mounting your boards?

In the computer itself? CNC control cabinet? Or just laying out in the middle of both computer and CNC cabinet?

That's the one I was talking about. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
