Don't bother buying the cable Jo you won't need to play with PID settings etc. Just flick the Switch 2 times in quick succession, when you do it the motors will make a buzzing sound for a second then stop. If the motors are whistling at the moment they will probably stop or change the tone.

Thanks guys, pretty sure I did this when I first set them up.

I got the laptop set up - connected it to the ipm but it wouldn’t connect for some reason, then it crashed! Maybe I should persist with plan A!!

To be honest I thought you had done it because I seemed to remember going thru it with you before. The Software just does the same thing but it does allow you to tweak it, but you should only need to do this is your having resonance issues, etc. Which you are NOT. 99% of the time the Auto tune option works fine.

RE: Laptop did you set the Adapter IPV4 address to manual .? and set to 10. 1. 1. 1 and 255.255.255.0

You did! I’ll leave the protuning for now then.

Haha, no, totally forgot that important step! Cheers Dean. Its been a long while since I last went through the ip/m manual page by page. Looks like I need to get it out again...
