Motors move only in manual. What am I missing

[gilur]

hi guys,
I have replaced my breakout board back to a simple parallel one.
Got everything connected and when I'm using the pendant motors are working fine.
However, gcode (both from a file or using the mdi window) does not work.
Instead of moving the axis the motors just squeak but not rotating at all.
I tried to lower the pulse/rev on the driver and respectivly, on the motor setup window, but the result is the same.
Btw, keyboard arrows in the motors setup window works fine.

What am I missing?
Tnx

Lower acceleration. Start from there.

Hi, I did... it doesn't change

[gilur]

Lower the feedrate in the g-code also

Will try it today but, it doesn't explain or solve the gcodes commands in the mdi and diagnostics tabs so I guess there is another thing unsolved..... ????

I also had that problem. Was able to job around but it would do what yours is doing with MDI.

After some ass scratching, I remembered aboot the keyboard TAB button motion screen Jog %. So I changed it from 50% to 100% and then did the motor tuning, also making sure to press the speed and accel sliders before hitting the save settings button, finished and closed the motor tuning - then hitting save settings in the config menu - Then shutting down and restarting Mach 3.

I got tired of trying over and over with small settings. So I did a big jump down in the speed / accl and worked my way up.

I was never able to tune the motors from inside the motor tuning screen.

Oh Don't forget to lower you jog rate back down
