I searched on the forum for about an hour but couldn’t find any answers.
I have just installed the UC300ETH-5LPT and UCCNC software on a Novakon milling machine. The Novakon is in the same class of machine as a Tormach. My mill has steppers on the axis and has a servo spindle. The mill is running a dedicated Windows 7 motherboard in the mills electrical cabinet. The UC300ETH is connected to the existing Novakon breakout board.
I had the mill running under a demo version of Mach3. I used the Mach3 Import function to transfer settings into UCCNC, but the axis Step and Dir and Port pins did not transfer over properly.
I was able to clear the Flashing Reset, but I had to set Emer Stop, X Lim -, X Lim +, Y Lim -, Y Lim +, Z Lim +, X Home, Y Home and Z Home to Active Low. I note that none of these were set as Active Low in Mach.
Even with the Flashing Reset cleared and being in Offline Mode, I am having big problems with all the axis Step, Dir and Port pins. Entering the correct settings does not stick with one exception. I am pressing Return after all entries.
The one exception is that I can enter 1 for Step and 1 for Port. I can also enter 1 for Dir and 1 for Port. Any other combination of numbers reverts back to zeroes when I press Apply Settings and/or Save Settings.
This same behavior occurs whether I am trying to modify the Mach3Import profile or the default profile.
I know I am probably missing something simple.
