Mach3 XML and Stepconfig issues.

Still no go, same behavior as before.

Change this line "net estop-out charge-pump.enable iocontrol.0.user-enable-out" to
setp charge-pump.enable 1

To get a charge pump signal of 12.5KHz, you would have to have add the charge pump component to at thread running at 40000ns (or 20000 with the -2). But try the above line change first before we start messing with your thread speeds.

setp charge-pump.enable 1

Now I can jog both axis, F1/F2 and E-stop works. Need to get proper parameters as it is now way too fast and steppers stall.

Will try to see if I can get the spindle running tomorrow. I only have Index now and only pin 13 free for A-channel. No physical encoder yet on my lathe but have parts to do this but I hope I can get spindle working and have to wait for encoder/threading possibilities.

Thanks for your kind support Todd, much appreciated.

Just remember when you edit acceleration and feed rates in the ini config file, that those numbers are in units/second. So for max feed rate for example on an inch machine 10 will be 600ipm.

OK, thanks for the info.

Cant find module encoder.update-counters

Like I said I'm sure I missed some lines for setting up the encoder.

The line:
addf encoder base-thread

should have been:
addf encoder.update-counters base-thread
