True, probably best just to post the profile ....

Thx Dude,

OK, so then you can set the tuning for the motor to appropriate settings.

  You have to enable the signal, turn it on before it starts to put out charge pump frequencies. Did you turn it on? Better
yet, can you simply turn on Charge pump on your baord till is all working, best to remove the barriers and then reinstate
them. If Chargepump WAS the problem, your DRO's should still count even if the motors dont move.

 Something pretty basic must be off for the DRO's to not count. Mach4 is coming out of Estop right? Is it possible the EStop
is inverted in Darwin so its going into Estop when MAch4 comes out of it? If you turn on a debug log, does it show Mach4 trying to jog?
Does it show any error when it tries?

Hi:

 As darwin starts up it registers 4 motors, (if in darwin, you have checked Enabled). After that its all kinda automatic, M4 should
allow you to configure them. This is the latest version I assume of M4?

For most charge pumps, youd need 12500 entered in the box ..

that gives a 12.5Khz pulse,you should see it turn yellow on its darwin led indicator when its putting out..

Another thought now that Ive slept on it..

 Have you tried turning off any charge pump? Or , if you use one, have you set a charge pump frequency?

Hi:

  Ive looked in the code, I cant see anything that would stop your motors from running. Seems to me if the driver shows a velocity when you jog,
it should be running...

So the jog indicator goes green, but the DRO's and the motor wont go? Nothing in the log history?

yes, it sounds like either the pins arent right, the home switch works so it must be the right port. Sure you didnt swap dir and step?

If Darwin shows a velocity, then its sending out pulses.. unless a chargepump signal is missing or soemthing, the breakout board
should be flashing..

It sounds to me like your hooked up fine, things should run. But if the DRO's arent moving, then Auggie isnt trying to jog. If Auggie sends out steps, the DRO's will count, so it has ot be something more basic than that..

Your photo of Darwin shows a velocoity when you try to jog, that means it was sending pulses out the port..but the motor wasnt moving..

 Are you sure the port number is the same as Mach3? Im not seeing nay reason your not getting a responce. When you tested the home switch ,
di that report mean the switch input DID follow the signal, or DIDNT. Are you getting input switch responce?
