I have finally given up on Windows 7 and have upgraded the control computer to a Windows 11Pro. I packaged the profile and imported it into the new machine. When testing the Jog functions the Z axis does not move. The DRO shows it moving but there is no motion.
The first thing I thought was there was a hardware error (it has been awhile since I used this machine) To test this I reconnected the Old windows 7 control computer and had it reinstall the old SmartBob and everything works as expected (the Z axis moves)
I have the two control computers side by side so I have checked all of the configurations and they seem to be the same. I even disabled the Z axis (motor 3) and re enabled it. Still no movement when using the new control computer.
Here is my configuration.
PMDX 410 USB
PMDX 132 breakout board
Old computer
Mach 4 4.2.0.4300
Smart Bob 0.52.254
New Computer
Mach 4 4.2.0.5036
Smart Bob 0.53.263
I have attached the NEW profile and e-mail you the Old profile (both attachments are too big) in case I have done something bone head and just can't find it.
Any help is appreciate
