I've got it to run the splash screen ;)
https://youtu.be/JEo0zH5BMoM
Running 2.7 at moment with now working home switches, am going to upgrade to 2.8 but this was a fresh install so thought I might as well have a go.
I wasn't touching off each axis I assumed it was only for the Z causing most my errors.
My dimensions are wrong and not sure why will have to investigate tomorrow but when I move 1.2m I'm only really moving ~85cm so need to do some head scratching.
My microsteps are set to 8 and the ballscrew pitches are correct, it's set to 1:1
I also have the emergency stop button but unsure how to wire it up no instructions of course with the super cheap chinese stop button but I never expected anything more lol.
I did have it running a couple of weeks ago with Mach 3 but as soon as my mate went Oz I deleted the dodgy pirate and installed linuxcnc he's back in a week so glad I've got it working before he got back lol, he's a Windowsphile.Last edited by Desertboy; 17-01-2018 at 04:30 PM.

If you didn't buy it from China the company you bought it from did ;)
