OK, thanks Hood. I will try replacing these and see what happens. I should have them here early this week and they are cheap so it is worth the try.

Hello Hollye,
I too had to change out the hard drive recently on a cnc machine that worked fine but sat inactive for months. I downloaded the newest version of mach 3 and installed all
the correct pins etc. When I turn on the controller it powers up the motors but because I cannot access the motor settings in the config drop down section I too cannot get the motors to work.
I click on the motor tuning screen but it won't open. any ideas?
I sent a request in to artsoft but who know if they will answer.
I am a paid licensee but I still can't seem to get any answers on this new software from artsoft yet.
Does anyone have any idea why I can't get the motor tuning screen to open?
thanks

casinog,
I would recomend you reinstall Mach and reboot your computer after you install it.
Once Mach is opened, you should be able to go click the Config tab and a pullout will apear, then you should be able to scroll down to Motor Tuning and the motor tuning screen will apear and allow you to input values.

Also check out what Al posted. I never had your problem with any reinstallations in Mach3 nor upgraded from Mach 1 or 2.

I have not seen this problem but Al's recommendation looks feasible.

Thanks Rich!
By doing a new install and naming the directory something else it allowed me a clean install that works!
Thanks for the assistance!

Suggest you delete the other directory. I personaly have had problems, on my computer, where it will selects the
first file it finds on the hard drive, but then that's just on my end.

 BTW happy it works.  :)

Casinog,

Good to hear you are up and running. Good job RICH!  :) I am still waiting for my controller chips. They should be here tomorrow and we'll see if that is it.
