I’m in the process of migrating my CNC router from Mach3 to UCCNC and I’m encountering a problem.
Here is my setup: Gecko G540 drivers connected via USB through a UC100 CNCdrive adapter. The PC is running Windows 7 (not connected to the internet).
My Mach3/Gecko configuration is very standard: motors on Port 1, pin 2/3 for X, pin 4/5 for Y, pin 7/6 for Z. Same for the limit switches: Port 1, pin 10 for X, pin 11 for Y, pin 12 for Z.
I manually copied these settings into UCCNC.
The green and blue LEDs turn on properly when I launch UCCNC.
However, when I launch Mach3, the motors make a noise and are electrically locked. Once I reset the emergency stop, I can move the motors directly using the PC keyboard.
When I launch UCCNC, nothing happens. Even after resetting the emergency stop, the motors are not electrically locked and I cannot move them with the keyboard. Same when I run a G-code: no movement at all.
I am NOT in demo mode (I don't see any demo indication in the window header).
I searched quite a lot on the internet and in the documentation PDF, but I can’t figure out what I’m missing. I should mention that I’m not a native English speaker—maybe I’m missing something because of the language.
Thanks in advance,
Vincent
