Got it   Using wrong output.  Had to understand how ESS config is the boss and Mach4 just needs to confirm but not really change anything in Mach config.

I have my motors running with bare minimum pins and ports but as soon as I try to add Estop and homes and limits nothing works.  I am copying the settings from the Warp9 info on how to set up for Mach4 by setting the inputs and outputs in my machine to those listed but no joy.  Anyone else using the ESS with C62 BOB and getting it to work?  DaztheGas video looks helpful but not quite the same as my screens on a newer version I guess.

Thanks
Keith

All fixed and wow! Is ESS and Mach4 a big improvement over Mach3.  The same motor and lead screw is about 3 times faster with no stalls! So happy I switched!

Problems from earlier post solved by uninstalling from the uninstall module in the Mach4hobby directory then reinstalled everything in about 3 minutes.  I had done it so many times with failure that it was a great eureka moment when that stepper motor started to scream across the table!

There is also an error that says there are 2 computers on the network with the same IP address and I could not resolve that problem either.  Is there a way to uninstall Mach4 and ESS so they can then be reinstalled?  When I go to uninstall Mach4 is not on the list--strange... ???

Confused between 10.9.9.9 and 10.9.9.2 addresses.

SmoothStepper USB / Mach4 ESS not responding

At first all seemed good with Mach4 motor setup but it would not see the motor for tuning.  Then I rebooted and the ESS IP address changed to 10.9.9.2 and will not allow 10.9.9.9 even with the utility and jumper.  Mach will not run now.  I plan to format the drive and start over without Norton or wireless internet then add Norton and wireless through USB once Mach is set up.  Does that make sense? Or would Norton or wireless not be the problem?

Thanks

Thanks, I did not know brains were no longer relevant to Mach4 so that is good to know.  Never used them in Mach3.

Are Brains obsolete in Mach4?

Thanks

I want to fall in love too! But when to use this is in Mach4. 
Is it just to deal with inputs and outputs monitoring activities or could it be used to write a probe routine for instance?

Thanks,
Keith
