Hood,

Why you want to get rid of the old XML's?

Because I clicked save settings a few times when setting up, and now have a dozen backups.
If I click save settings, shouldn't they all be in the last save?

Not sure when backups get written, to be honest I dont think I have ever looked inthe backup folder so dont know how many I have LOL
 Yes Save Settings should save them but sometimes it doesnt seem to. Shutting Mach down and restarting will.

Hood ,  :D
Bet you have a s--t load of backups. :D

"This directory is used to hold backups of your XMLs as you change them.
If you would like to use one of the backups simply change the files extention to .xml and place it into the Mach3 Directory."

Thank you

This is what it reads in the folder.

I know for a fact it doesn't always save on a close and restart.
I had my Z set to home with the stop button. Closed Mach , and restarted. Stop would not home Z.
Checked the box and everything was unchecked. Checked boxes , and did a save settings, and  now is good .

Well, I'll stop crying now, and check on Bretts  sister. Kinda hard to see her in the dark, which is a good thing. ;D

Any Who,
  New problem. >:(
when jogging Y either way, servo motor turns approx 1/4 turn, hesitates, then goes.
Tried adjusting gain and dampening all over, and can't get it to go right. It was working fine,
but not now.  Also went into tuning, and it just won't change. Do I need a really big hammer? ???
Frustrated, and the monkey knows it. :'(
Ed Again.

No just tell it not only will Bretts sister come and have a talk with it but Brett will also come around, that should be much more effective than a hammer :)

Attach your xml and I will have a look.

Ed, if backlash is enabled, disable it and see if it helps. Hood will get you fixed right up when he looks at the XML I'm sure.

Brett
;D If you could see the things I have in my head, you would be laughing too. ;D

My guard dog is not what you need to worry about!

 :D   I am Sofa King We Todd Did     :-[   and so is Britt (Bretts Sister)  :-[
  Had ball screw comp enabled in Y with .001 backlash. So, I guess ballscrew comp is useless (Britt) in Mach.
Problem solved.  :D
Thanks guys
Later
