Hi all,

The worst part so far has been trying to get my computer and Galil DMC-4040 to communicate with each other.  After that questions and minor problems but nothing much.  Presently Mach 3 recognizes the limits and encoders so in effect I have a manual mill with DRO.  I can't seem to get the servos to turn on or move.  I think I may have the Plugin configured wrong, or not at all.  I went through the manual and remember setting things the first time but might not have hit apply or save.  I can't find the any of the screens that are in the manual.  I especially want to see what kind of motor Mach3 "thinks" I have.  I think that's where my problem lies.  I usually don't have problems installing programs and getting stuff to communicate but really dread uninstalling anything after the nightmare I went through the first time.  Do I need to uninstall and then  install everything again or is there an easy way?

The Galil plugin doesn't show up under the top bar 'plugins' menu.  You have to go to the 'config' menu for plugins.  I missed that detail at first and drove myself crazy installing/re-installing for about an hour.

Thank you Instance,

You saved me way more than an hour for sure.  Its under Config -> Config PlugIns -> configured (right most column which apparently is a button).

I was there a few times and just never clicked on the correct place.  As it turns out, it is configured right, as far as servos.  Now I have to come up with another reason for it not working.

I'll have to type up a long letter describing whats going on and post it tomorrow.  Hopefully it'll make sense to someone.  I'll start a new thread with a more accurate title.  Thanks again for the help, it really did save me some major time.
