Also noticed a strange thing, the video shows that its in Demo mode, are you running Demo or do you have a licence?

Yes I have a license, but because I removed Mach3 completely I forgot to put the license back.
But this do not have affect on this problem. Before removing Mach3 I had the same problem I took the Video after new fresh install.

Hood,

Did you try the C-Axis on your machine?
Thanks

I have just enabled C in Ports and Pins, Motor Outputs.
Changed the script in my RefAll button to include the C axis.
Homed the machine and it jogs fine via the MPG, via the keyboard and also moves fine via MDI. and I even tried disabling and re-enabling soft limits.

Hood,

Fantastic that it works on your machine, that means there must be a setting wrong on my machine.
Witch Mach3 & CS-Lab Plugin version are you using?

Here is my XML

I am using ver 057 I think and the latest plugin.
I tested this on the Chiron that uses the IP-A controller.

I have found the problem. Fixed and it is working fantastic.
The problem was actually very simple.
In CS-Lab Plugin menu> submenu "Special Functions" > tab "Other" the "Set Axis to "0" on reset" was not enabled.

Ok that is a setting for IP-S and M and it is one you can use with IP-A but really shouldnt as you have encoder feedback and if you did that it would mean you have to re-home each time you take Mach out of reset.
For the IP-S and M however that is really what you need to do as there is no feedback.
