in c:\Mach3 is a file  "yourprofilename".xml where all Settings are stored.
anything is possible, just try to do it.
if you find some mistakes, in my bad bavarian english,they are yours.

had a quick look to your Profile. only x-axis is set.

Dir Port1 Pin3 LowActive1
Step Port1 Pin4 LowActive1
Step/per 3850
Velocity 103.98
Accel 4

Dir Pulsewidth 0
Step Pulsewidth 0

These two should be set to 5 see reply#30 from reuelt

Thanks TPS for great trouble shooting.

I have edited the XML file as the PO probably did not enter the <enter> key and save each axis.

@Ricky
Please try using attached edited XML file I have edited ( I have only enabled X, Y and Z) as starting point for further fine tunning. Please use 7zip to unzip.

Happy CNCing

I finally was able to down load the xml file and had to do a lot of fine tuning. The x axis runs very good on the mach 3 demo. The y axis was harder to tune and it also will run on the demo, but when trying to run both the x and y on the demo they start growling and sometimes stop. I have tried two different computers and a second breakout board. still have the same problem. I don't know what to try next. Any help is appreciated.

so what are your final Settings?
how did you do the X/Y test, via Input in MDI line?
anything is possible, just try to do it.

Two items that I did not see mentioned that you might try.
One is to invert the pulse signal ... just for the heck of it. Some drives like it ... some don't.
The other is the voltage of the port. Possibly 3.3v ?

Here is the final settings:                X settings
Y & A axis settings:                         steps 7100
steps: 6940                                    velocity 60
velocity: 59                                     accel    8
accel: 8                                          step pulse 5
step pulse: 5                                   dir pulse  5
dir pulse: 5

I tested by just running in the mach 3 demo and putting into jog mode. I will check the voltage at port.
