The machine is running a Mesa 5i25 connected to a cnc4pc C11G rev 8.7 BoB, and I've tried the 5i25_c11x.bit using kvom's tormach_1100-3.ini and nm200.hal, and the 5i25_c11gx.bit provided by PCW_MESA and attempted to set up a PWMGEN.
The machine runs fine with Mach3 and ESS smooth stepper, so it's not a hardware or wiring issue.
Can anyone tell me which bitfile I should be using, as well as how to get the spindle to turn? I'll gladly pay for the help.
Thanks!
