    G540 Mach3 Display Issues & Slave Axis Issues

    So the xml profile for Mach3 that Gecko provides takes my old CNC files and makes them look like swiss cheese. So I took all the settings and put them into Mach3's stock configuration and the slave Axis option does not power my A axis? I don't care which Mach3 profile I use so I just want to fix either problem so I can run.

    Thanks:}

    figured out the slave axis issue....Outputs for the slave A axis were not set like the other motors.....oooops.

    I would still like to know why Gecko's profile for Mach3 makes my programs look like swiss cheese?

    A axis slave solved

    Slaved A axis didn't have the step and direction pins programmed in the old version of Mach3.

    Still wondering how to get Gecko's Mach3 profile to not make my CNC programs look like swiss cheese....but I'll settle for the old profile working for now.
