    HOw can I tell if PC-2 is getting message from PC

    I'm bascially ready to go with my CNC. Had problems today with MACH#/SoundlogicM3 making axis lines run backwards. Finally,with help and a lot of frustration got it working correctly.

    RESET light is lit and ready but no movement in motor. I have the motor off the CNC and by my computer so as to see when it turns. So far nothing.

    Software driver checks out so I know I have the sofware and PC running but not sure the PC-2 is getting message. Probably, a parameter off somewhere.

    Got any idea what the screen should look like besides the RESET on/green. There are two yel lights that go off beside the RESET button when its on. Haven't figured that out yet.

    I was told by BOB that once the RESET is on, the first thing I should see is the out-4 led light (charge pump) come on. Are we talking in the diagnostic screen area that I should see a light? If so,I'm not getting it. I don't see anything on the first screen with out-4 on it.

    Need info and help though. I want this beast to talk. It's been a long trip.

    Thanks,

    I don't use the Cambell board, but I'll take a shot.

    The yellow LED's should go out when you reset. I believe they just indicate you are in E-stop.

    The Output 4 would be on the diagnostics page.

    Make sure the port address is correct, and make sure the charge pump is enabled and set to the correct port and pin in the ports and pins setttings, output tab.
