Issues After Updating Mach4 & HiCON - Can't Move Motors?

(1/2) > >>

mrcole:
I just recently updated Mach4 and the HiCON firmware/FPGA, all running the most current versions.  After updating, it looks like Mach4 connects to the controller okay, but I can't seem to move any motors now no matter what I do.  This machine worked previously so I'm not sure what may have changed.

I do get an error when trying to move things though: "ERROR: Following Error Limit Exceeded on Motor X. Servo Disarmed".  I've attached a screen shot of the debug window when this happens.

Any ideas on something I may be missing?  I believe everything is set up as it was originally and nothing has changed.  Thanks

lsgreen:
Have you tried entering 1 on the feedback gain? I'm not sure if 0 is allowed

mrcole:
Yes, changing the gain does not seem to change anything, unfortunately.  I'm looking through the config again now at the moment.

mrcole:
I've noticed in the debug window that just starting the mach profile and enabling the system produces a lot of unhandled messages (attached).

Mauri:
mrcole,
These are the settings I have with my steppers and Main Config page.
Regards,
Mauri.
