Is this my problem?

iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in

This signal was connected to some ladder components which I'm no longer using. I commented it out and that didn't fix it.

I'm not making this signal true with anything. Can I just do a net true => to this signal to get the drives to enable?

Thank you all for the suggestions!

cheers

You could "net" it to a dummy signal, but it is probably easier to just "setp" it to 1.

Many configs (especially simulator configs) have it as part of a short-circuit loop:
Code:
# create a signal for the estop loopback net estop-loop iocontrol.0.user-enable-out => iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in

Is the iocontrol.0.user-enable-out the e-stop button on the Axis gui?

Can't wait to try this ... thank!

Edit: Read the manual and it looks like this is an internal e-stop signal that's generated ... so IF there's no issue, I guess it should work ... Thank you!

Woo hoo!

Axes enabled but got a following error... Which I think is just w simple polarity issue (I think axis was making a run for it :)). Moving forward again...

Thank you gents!

Swapped the wires instead of doing it in hal file.

Both axis holding position and jogging from axis panel.

Thank you again for the support!

Cheers
