I' just setting up my first CNC machine, so I'm fairly close to completely lost
Anyway, I got everything set up and running perfectly (as far as I can tell) without GCode loaded. All the axis travel in the proper directions and exactly the right distances. I set a dial micrometer up and tested by jogging around and making sure the DRO and the dial micrometer agree. The soft limits work perfectly etc.
Then, I loaded the scorpion demo as per the instructions and suddenly the DROs report FAR more movement than is really happening. I move about 1" and the soft limits kick in, as if I'd move over 25". If I manually jog, the same thing happens.
I've been perusing the Mach 2 manual and I just can't seem to find anything that tells me what to do about this. There is a paragraph on scaling, but it doesn't really say anything useful.
Any hints?
P.S. This is a licenced version. I have Mach 3 as well, but I can't seem to get that to move the machine at all. I figure I'll use mach 2 until I understand a fair bit of it, then see what I can do to get mach 3 working.
