having trouble with mach 4 demo
« on: August 01, 2019, 05:33:03 PM »
I just downloaded Mach 4 hobby on my cnc.  I'm using ESS  got everything connected and set all my limits and ports and pins and after running it the first time my "X" axes is traveling backwards.  I tried to open config and it will not let me select anything.  When I turn off the ESS I can access config but all my setting are gone.  Is this just a problem with the demo version?  I have been running Mach 3 for years and just starting to get better familiar with it... Am I crazy trying to upgrade to Mach 4

Configure the plugin not the control

All the settings are done in the ESS it then configures the mach4 settings

I hate to ask a stupid question but... once I have the ESS loaded and set up how do I get back in to ESS to make a change without creating a whole new profile.
