ok got the jog to work......kinda. my buddy never showed last night so i have been playing with the old computer here is what i found. i do all the pinouts and everything works fine until i enable INPUT1 then jog locks up and won't work on the machine or on the screen. also not sure on if i have the motors set up right i try and run the 2 Y axis motors and the motor i'm calling Y-1 works right but Y-2 doesn't unless i hit the Z axis (page up or page down) i don't even have a motor connected to my Z axis on the g540 i have my Y-2 motor hooked to "A-AXIS" on the g540 i have Y-2 reversed i have played with slaving it to X,Y and Z

not sure what to try next?

here is the xml file i'm using now

Hi Tweakie,
The Manuel that I got with the machine recommends that I config the motor tuning as follows.
X axis Steps 320 Velocity 1500 Acceleration 300 step pulse 10 Dir pulse 5
Y axis Steps 320 Velocity 1500 Acceleration 300 Step Pulse 10 Dir Pulse 5
Z axis Steps 320 Velocity 750 Acceleration 150 Step Pulse 10 Dir Pulse 5

I have confg the motors with the settings., I will have another go at this tomorrow evening with you r suggestion,
I will keep you informed of the out come.

Thanks for your guidance, I really wanting this to work for me, I truly am excited with this interesting hobby.

Regards,

Lou

You have attached xml's for plama and turn which are you using or are you using mill?
Hood

plasma, not sure where the turn one came from got them both from the same place and i've never loaded a turn profile on my computer. thats odd. anyway i got the machine a little more figured out the max CL mode enabled was checked so changing that made a world of difference. still not sure why i can't enable input 1 in the pins and prots though.

What revision of Mach are you using?

Hood

3.043.022

Sure you are attaching the correct xml?
