new to MACH.  I have just built a CNC machine and have it all setup on my parallel port and cannot get my machine to move. can anyone help me in trying to figure out why my motors wont move when I jog?

Someone mentioned I need to setup the addressing ? dont know what that is as of this moment.

I would watch the videos linked in this topic. Should get you going.

I watched the video's and was able to get my Z axis and Y axis to move but I cannot get the X axis with the dual motors to move. Any idea's ?

post your .ini it's in you profile in c/mach4

post your .ini it's in you profile in c/mach4

which file? I dont see a INI file in the root c:\mach4hobby

C:\Mach4Hobby\Profiles

see attachment files

C:\Mach4Hobby\Profiles

file is now attached to the previous message

It may be more useful to post a packaged profile which includes not just the
INI file, but also all configuration information about the system.

You can generate a packaged profile by using the menu items-

HELP > SUPPORT > PACKAGE CURRENT PROFILE

This file can then be used by support personnel to run an instance of Mach4 that
uses your complete software setup. To do this, use the Import Profile function
of the Mach4 Loader.

PMDX plug-ins can also create debug logs that are automatically included in
the packaged profile. The PACKAGED PROFILE is just a special ZIP file and the
extra files get included when it is created.

ok ronnierozier2 can I have that it would be faster than reading the ini file.

thanks steve
