Make sure you have the step going to step and the direction going to direction.
A simple mistake but the motor will not move.
Been there done that.

If you are using an ESS the pc's ethernet settings need to be set to the correct address also.
Select TCP/IP Version 4 then click the Properties button.
Select Use the following IP address.
IP address   10.9.9.1 
Subnet mask   255.255.255.0

Daz,

It is really strange.
2 different pcs do the same thing.
Steve from Newfangled told me how to do it manually.
I am going to try that.

The inverters we use will not work with a solid state relay to turn on the forward and reverse.
They need a mechanical connection.

I move to the point where the fiducial is supposed to be.
I then have a custom m code which gets the information from the camera.
