one other thing you have motor 0 set as 0 good.

then you have motor 1 set in motors tab then in Axis mapping you have motor 2 set as motor 1.

you should have motor 2 set as motor 2 in motors and Axis mapping

Ok, so I have tried your suggestions and it would appear to have made it worse. I now cannot move the motors at all, and the pins do not change when a gcode is entered for the spindle, only when the CW button is clicked. I have a log attached of the spindle code running. I have attached the new .INI and profile.

OK - this is not at all a PMDX issue and I'm done playing "guess what non-obvious configuration is needed".  Time to get Warp9 to support their own product.  Try posting on their forums and see if anyone can explain how to get PWM out of the ESS.  Go here:

You have to create an account to even browse the forums :-(

If you find out it would be helpful to people here for you to post the settings necessary for this.

Thanks for all your help Bob, I have posted on their forums and will report back if there is any news. I am of course still open for help from this page if there are any other ideas.

Thanks again

Joe

Warp9 is coming out with a new plug-in release that will be be totally different integration geared towards Mach4. Could be weeks, months, who knows but ESS users have been waiting a very long time.
