    Mach 3 setup for G540 & Smooth Stepper

    Hello,

    I am trying to get my system running and would like advise on setting up Mach3.

    My system: Windows 7 (Bootcamp Macbook Pro)
    SmoothStepper
    G540
    Kelingtech motors and PSU.

    I see there are .xml files to set up Mach3 for the G540 and Smooth Stepper. Which order should I install them?
    Should I install the .xml file for the G540, then do a manual setup for the SmoothStepper?

    I am communicating properly with the SmoothStepper per the 2 steady lights and one blinking.
    The G540 is out of fault mode, but I cannot jog the steppers.

    Thanks for any help,

    Jeff

    I've never used either, so can't help much.
    You can't use both .xml files. One will overwrite the other.
