Hello, my name is Gerhard and i am trying around with mach4 since the first demo-release. I licensed the software and installed mach4.
The Version is Mach4Hobby.
I use the ESS-Plugin from the latest version. This is if i am right 19.04.2015.
I am running a machine with 5 motors, two of them are assigned to x axis, then i use 1 for y axis, 1 for z axis c-axis ist the tool changer and the a axis is the fourth axis.
In mach3 i use the following configuration:
Enable1 = Port 1 - Pin 17
Enable2 = Port 2 - Pin 17
Charge Pump = Port 1 - Pin 16
Charge Pump 2 = Port 2 - Pin 16
I tried out a lot but i can't activate the second board.
I also found no way to activate Carge Pump2, i think this is the main reason why it fails.
I tried to assign
Enable 1 to 1-16
Enable 2 to 1-17
Enable 3 to 2-16
Enable 4 to 2-17
No way...
Has anyone experience and can help me with further information?
Best regards,
Gerhard
