General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 using Galil servo card

« on: March 19, 2008, 12:16:33 PM »

Just want to add my input here. I am also using a Galil 1700 board. I have unchecked both boxes under "motor options" in the Galil plugin. My DRO's now display the actual axis position as returned by the encoders. If I power down the axis and move the table, the DRO's display the actual movement of the unpowered table. Might be worth trying on Your system. Are any of You using a pendant for edge locating? If so which one. I was looking at Peter Homanns pendant, but am not sure about it working with Galil controllers. Any input?
Thanks,
Kenny

Dave,
Have You looked at the Mach3 SDK about half way down the downloads page? It may help.

From the looks of the 100 pin connector, there must be a Galil controller in the computer. You should open the computer case and check the markings of the board connected to the other end of that connecting cable. Please look for markings on the board such as Galil and 17?? or 18?? etc. Please get back to us with that information, or take the board out and place it on a copy machine and send the images from both sides of the board. Then maybe we can help.
