Mach4 Axis Calibration...

I saw some discussion about Mach4 not having the same calibration wizard to calibrate your axis steps that Mach3 has. Those discussions are a year old now, did that ever get implemented into Mach4?

No, and from what I heard it won't be. Its more or so a mechanical equation with no calibrating needed, ez pz leon squeezy. Daz did put up a video on youtube of configuring motors in Mach4 .

Thanks Royce, a search in Youtube did not seem to return a Mach4 calibration video, do you happen to have a link to it? I found a link in a thread but it was broken.

He is using ESS but the axis setup configuration is modified in Mach 4, not the plugin.

In case people want other helpful videos, a reminder that this link is the one referenced in the "Mach4 Videos" sub-section of this forum under the title "ESS and Mach4 Setup" here:

Did you get an update on the missing calibration issue? Everything is old that I can find.

CountsPerUnit, rc = mc.mcProfileGetDouble(inst,"Motor0", "CountsPerUnit", 2000.0)
this works for changing the CountsPerUnit but if you only want to read the CountsPerUnit to a variable
how would that be done?
