mpv has invalid port and pin settings for the A input. port=3, pin-1 in mach3

I had Jeff @Soigeneris update my control box from USB to Ethernet as I kept getting an error for the smooth steppers and I could not get it fixed.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH JEFF, I'd just rather not bother him as its the weekend.
I'm getting this error msg....mpv has invalid port and pin settings for the A input. port=3, pin-1
When looking at the ports and pins it does in fact say that for both the in and out. I know thats not right but I have no idea what should it be ?
Estop is port-1, pin-14 fwiw
Thanks

Is port 3 set for pins 1-9 as Inputs? If not then you will likely get that message as 1-9 are Outputs by default. You can check by looking at the Config, from Plugin Control menu.

Thank you.
Arn't those for servo motor drives ? I'm not using them so I'm pretty sure I don't need them. I turned them off.
Now I get a PWM error. I've tried to change it but it seems to make no difference.

First thing, when you say MPV are you actually meaning MPG? If not what does MPV stand for?

Ok a MPG is a Manual Pulse Generator, it is used for moving the axes manually.
If you do not have one connected then go to Config menu then Ports and Pins then Encoder/MPG page and disable the MPG.

Yes Sir, as I said above, I turned them off.
I now have a PWM error.
It was always there I just didn't ask about it at the time so I didn't muddy the waters.

Ah ok thought you meant that turning off the MPG made the PWM error appear.
PWM is a spindle error, how is your spindle set up? What kind of spindle controller are you using?

In spindle set up, uncheck PWM, and check step/dir motor, apply, ok. That is how mine is set up. Mine is a Sherline with Homanns speed controller. It will either work or it wont. If it doesnt, change it back and wait for Jeff.
