At this point I have just one problem. I want to prove that mach4
will work for me and maybe take the transition slowly since i have
a few customizations that i really like.
When I try configure control motor all the entry boxes are greyed
out but i must have pins right and checked boxes to use the axis
because they move when i run a gcode.
i am going to look one more time for something that might not be
checked
if you have any places to look in mach4 config or ESS config or
any place out that might be responsible for the motor setting page
to not think there are motors? again they move under program
control.

Spencer,
I need to be at my desk for a bit later today and I am more
than happy to go over this with you.and get it setup. I know you
have been doing this for a long time and I know you shouldn't
have any trouble. I would like to know if we can do anything to
make it better.
Thanks
Brian

Yes i downloaded and printed the 51 pages did not see anything
about hotkeys but the youtube looks promising.Maybe i missed
another doc. Can not do many youtubes at high res with our

Subject: [MachCNC] mach 4 and ess
I spent hours trying to get mach4 to work with ess. Boy is the configuration a confusing mess.
two things i just can't get to work but i am sure there will be others once i test my lube control and other things.
i think i can live without my customizations at least for a while but i just wanted to see if mach4 is really any better and worth the effort.
I CAN NOT GET MOTOR TUNING TO WORK. i have all pins assigned etc and i can run a test gcode but the steps are totally wrong and need to be changed. in the appropriate place (something like config control motors) i have the familiar motor tuning screen similar to mach3. however the steps speed and accel are greyed out and i can not enter anything. by default all motor checkboxes were checked and i unchecked and checked until i was exhausted. nothing i could do would let me enter the values.
also i can not find anywhere where hotkeys are assigned. i found a tutorial you tube by a woman who sounds very authoritative so i think i might have found the answer but i have viasat internet and videos are blurry pixels at anything other than high res which means i have to wait weeks for vids to load. this is why i seriously shy away from youtube.
we are in the list for starlink and hope to get it soon so we will be in the 20th or is that 21st century like everyone else.
with all the fabulous improvements WTF can't there be a downloadable pdf worth shit? i have a great manual for mach3 and did not have many problems installing or using it other than a few here and there and the bugs which have prompted me to try mach4.
so maybe hotkeys and other kule keyboard stuff will be explained buy the very confident sounding woman if i live long enough to download the high res video
however trying to find out why motor tuning is greyed out could take me into the next century trying to find the answer.
