Laucher does not run stepper motors_Axis runs fine.

With all this done in Stepconf. And with the mill responding during the “Test this Axis” for each axis. When I run the Launcher, start the machine and run the LinuxCNC default G-Code. The Axis screen shows it following the G-Code as it should. But, now NONE of the steppers on the mill are moving at all.

Thank you,

Left and Right jog works Excellent.
Test area also works as it should.

I’m using the Chinese Blue 5-axis controller from Sain Smart. And the MD430-V1.4 stepper driver boards with the following settings. Which work awesome when running the “Test this Axis”.

SW 1 = 1, SW 2 = 1, SW 3 = 0 for current of 2.0(A)
S1 = 0, S2 = 1 Decay mode of 50⁒
S3 = 0, S4 = 1 Excitation mode of 16 microsteps
S5 = 1, S6 = 0 Torque settings of 75⁒

Estop not correct

First where do I join the IRC and what do you mean ESTOP incorrect? I connected it between pin 13 and ground.

THANK YOU for the guidance. Disconnected the ESTOP button and voila' IT WORKS. Thank you again. Still don't have a clue how to get on the IRC help thing though.
Sincerely'
