My WD-1 arrived and I am now in the process of setting it up. Looking really good. All axis are moving but when I tell it to move 1.000" in the Y direction, in jog mode, it only moves 0.037". The D.R.O. shows a movement of 0.9972". I am using a dial indicator to check movement. Per X-Axis Motor Movement Profile, the steps per is 5833. All the axis seem to have the same incremental movement.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you follow Ron's setup instructions? I believe you have to swap out the Machlll xml file for one in the files that he provides. The best way to get a responce from Ron is to email him directly: rogersmach@yahoo.comI won't be checking my email for a while but you can call me at: 9l3-9O9-7l6O Jim

Sounds as though the interpreter (Mach3) is in metric (G21). Put a G20 in the MDI line and hit enter, then try it. If you ran the roadrunner file in Mach3 it is in metric, not english. Mach3 will stay in whatever coordinate system was last used.

I did have the roadrunner displayed.
I shut down restarted and everything seems to be working. Metric never entered my mind.
Thanks
Bob
