I’m very new to cnc I built my own machine got windows 7 64bit purchased Mach4 license running dmm ess with a dummy 4250 8b bob I have the Mach4 running on the computer but motors are not moving I need some advice on what I’m missing on the configuration side of things
Any help is appreciated

Hi,
please explain you hardware arrangement a bit more please.

You say 'running dmm ess with a dummy 4250 8b bob'...what do you mean.

In the Mach forum ESS is generally meant as 'Ethernet SmoothStepper' manufactured by Warp9TD. Some people use the term ESS
without actually meaning the device manufactured by Warp9.

In the Mach forum DMM usually means 'Dynamic Motor Motion' a Canadian company specialising in AC servos. They do make a BoB but it
is certainly NOT a motion controller like an ESS.

Combining the two terms 'dmm ess' is confusing.

Hi Craig
I did deal with DMM in Canada and they supplied the Ethernet Smoothstepper and a DMM 4250 8b breakout board photo below I purchased Mach4 version 247 and I am unable to get the motors to work.
I have Mach4 working on my computer as per video but I may have forgotten or programmed something wrong in the configuration
Tried to download photos ...FAILED...

Hi,
so you have an ESS. Have you downloaded and installed the ESS Mach4 plugin?
Have you enabled the ESS plugin in Machs Control?
Have you selected the ESS as active motion controller in Machs Control?
Have you run the Warp9 SCU utility?
Do the ethernet port lights on the ESS indicate that its successfully communicating with the PC?
