Setting ADTECH servos with Eding CNC software steps/AppUnit

[Web Goblin]

What do you mean when you turn the motors off? I didnt think that the software let go of the motors unless it had a failure or an emergency stop then you have to rehome the machine. I think that as soon as you press reset to start the machine the software has control.
You can check the amp enable output on the I/O screen to see the state of the I/O control.

What I mean is, if I press the 'off button' it asks would I like to turn the motors off. If I click yes nothing happens and the motors are still energised

Is the enable drives output still on?

[D-man]

When I put a tick in the box and save it.... It doesn't actually save it and the box is unchecked still

[Web Goblin]

Oddly odd. If I get a chance I will check mine tonight and see what happens but I have a different cpu card from you. Might be best to email Bert and see what he says.

I will do that thanks. I had pondered on reinstalling the software so it was fresh incase something had happened in the download. Suppose it couldn't hurt

[Web Goblin]

Like you say it woudnt hurt. Just make sure that the install drivers bit completes after the program install. I think it does need all its own stuff to work correctly. You could also try inverting the amp enable output just to see what happens.

Just tried mine and it does turn off the drives and also the tick in the I/O screen for enable goes off. I am using V4.01 of the software.
Probably best to email Bert and see what he says.

[D-man]

Ah I'm using 4.02. Wonder if I should use that version for now

[Web Goblin]

It would be worth a try even if its just to see what happens. One thing I did notice was that after turning the drives off the button wont turn them back on. You have to press reset but that might be built into the software.
