Can we please have a mach3 setup and board swich setting post.. Official Post.
I know I should know everyones name, but at the moment I don't. So I don't know who to listen to.
The current posts don't seem to match. So PLEASE post an official setup in the document area, where the manuals are. It will releave the frustration.

Unfortunately, we can't post the Mach XML file here. I wrote the manuals and the configs in this thread that I posted are what I'll put in the 4 axis Electronics Manual. Just look at my screen shots at the start of the thread. I inadvertently left out the z motor tuning, that was posted yesterday.
Cheers,
Michael

In my "SeeMeAdmin" post above (on top of second page), The Z and A axis dip switches should be set the same, for 1/8 stepping. X and Y are set for 16th microstepping.

Yup.
Went over the settings very carefully and used the slic3r settings for 3mm,.02 yoda. A little fiddling and WOW. fantstic prints on Plexiglass with ABS.. Hard to belive the print quality. Thanks for a great product.
Only thing we need is some kind of good feed system. The machine needs a little tending cause the filiment tends to jump over each other and jam.. But with a little tending no real problems.

Below are my Motor Tuning Profiles. They turned out to be double of that of mhackney's configs. I also had to reverse the motor direction for the correct + and - direction.

You probably have your 34 Axis board configured for a different micro step than I do, that's why your steps per are doubled. I think I have mine configured for 1/8 stepping. How is yours configured?

No idea what the stepping is... is that configured on the board by the jumpers? My jumper settings came from Steve's with Seemecnc. So you think it could be set to 1/16 micro step right now?

Tizle, yeah, the board you looked at up in the lobby was 1/16 stepping.

Hello
I am new to seemecnc and I have a quick question that I hope you guys can help me with. I have had a 4 axis board for a while now and I think it may be an older one because everything looks the same except my dip switch only have 2 switches per box instead of 6 as shown in your pictures. Will this affect the jumper fix? Thanks in advance.
