I am setting up my first viper 200 drive using the original servos and renco encoders. Had to trace wires from the encoders to get the right wires to plug into the drive. So , I finally got to the point of being able to turn the shaft and see the encoder reading. The problem I am having is going through the manual. I am doing exactly what it says about increasing the the numbers by 50 , but the motor does not stiffen up. Maybe just a little bit , but not a huge difference.
Do I need to be connected to Mach3 first?
Any info on getting the motor to move would be greatly appreciated. I am just at a lost. I can provide whatever info to help get me through this first drive.
