Hi again!
Getting there with my machine using CS-Labs CSMIO/IP/A controller now...
But, a couple of more questions:
Is there a way to backup and restore the settings I have put into the Plugin? I have two controllers, mine and one I have borrowed, and the one I have setup the machine with is the borrowed one. So I want to back up the settings I have made before I switch the controllers over. Also, the controllers are setup on different versions of the plugin, so when I put my new one in, (version 2.703, as opposed to v2.700 on the borrowed unit) I have to re-install the plugin which will lose all my settings - hence the need to backup and restore.
Also, does anyone know if the plugin/mach3 has a set of default values stored somewhere which are initialised when it is turned on? For example, y Feedrate speed is 10000 when I turn it on, but I want it to be 100 and have to remember to change it each time I start it. If I could find the default values then I wouldn't need to worry about it in the future.
I think this also may be a problem with a X Axis, because the controller is outputting 10V on the analog line to the drive, without any command from Mach3. As soon as I press reset, the drive zooms off at full speed until it trips the PID following error. I presume that I have got a value somewhere in the config that is telling it to do this, but I can't find it. When I reconfigured the drive onto the B axis instead of the X, it works fine.
Any tips regarding the above would be appreciated!
Many thanks
Mark
