General Mach Discussion / motors won't move

« on: October 09, 2007, 09:07:43 PM »

I have installed the Mach 3 system on my computer and downloaded a Galil plugin. The system worked but with some issues. So I hooked up the Gecko system with just one motor. I set all of the parameters as needed. When I turn on the system the driver will hold the motor. But when I try to move the motor with the jog or any MDI instruction nothing happens. I have double (triple) checked all of my settings and don't see anything wrong. I checked the forum and found where someone else had the same problem. I downloaded the file sent to them and installed it on my computer (I am afraid it was an older version of Mach 3 but I'm not sure). It found the license and re-installed. Still nothing. I changed the driver and the I/O board and tried again. Still no movement.
Any ideas?
