    UCCNC profile needed for Gecko G540

    Hey G'day people,

    Just wondering if anyone would care to shoot me a working profile for a Gecko G540 please.

    I have a three axis unit with A as slave. Just having some difficulties setting up and would like a profile to compare.


    Cheers,
    Steve

    I do not have one BUT if you take the Gecko Mach3 XML that they provide and IMPORT it into the UCcnc it should give you all the basics.

    Just a thought, (;-) TP

    Hey Vmax g'day,

    Thank you for taking the time to post. I did do that mate, its a simple enough process one would think, create a profile name - stick it on the desktop - import the mach3 xml and should be good to go. BUT. there's always a but.. I get this error doing a dry run.

    “a machine axis software limit was reached – the axis was now stopped”

    And for the life of me I can not see what the issue is.. I know what its saying just don't know how to problem solve it.

    So I thought maybe compare between what I have and someone else has.

    Cheers,

    Steve

    Go to the individual axis pages under Configuration, and see what the softlimit settings are.
