Chris let take a step or two back to get this working. Then start putting things back into play.
Lets get you moving first.
The reason you only need to set enable in Motor outputs and nothing else is because the Controller software takes over the dutys of dealing with Axis setup from Mach3.
The Controller software by default use's Channel 0 =X 1=Y etc and each Channel has dedicated Pins on the Terminal strip.
So the Ports n Pins settings Don't matter because Mach3 has nothing to do with this anymore. Just set all to (0)
Now Input's and Outputs are jointly handled between Controller and Mach3 so mach does need to know the port# and Pin#'s so it knows where to look or respond too.
So to get you moving just remove the Enable wires from drives. Provided you haven't change the default drive setting this will enable the drives.
Also remove the Fault Signals. These won't be the problem unless the drives are flashing a fault but lets just with start basic setup to get movement.
So now if you have the Axis Enabled in Motor outputs and the Motor Signal wires going to correct Pins you will have movement.
Try this and let me know.Last edited by JAZZCNC; 04-01-2016 at 11:58 PM.
