scn6 no movement output testing

hi all. not surewhat i have done wrong but all com ports are showing up in simtools. i am trying interface settings but itsnot highlighting the save button. When is does highlight i go back in and it has reset.
I have read through the instructions but am obviously overlooking something

i have now saved the interface settings and it says to restart engine. upon doing this i go back to interface and it has saved the com ports, packet rate and axis but the speed and acceleration revert back to zero.

No problem will do it in a few hours

Hi, I recalled encountering similar 'something not saved' in the past.. Seemed ok after I run simtools engine in administrator mode

tried that mate. Run as admin. installed as admin. i think its got to be something to do with the rs485 - usb board

A couple of pictures and brief explanation.

I have followed the instructions and just used the above just for testing. when i go into the interface setting the green save button does not highlight and is not selectable. i have to reselect the com port again then you can save. Once save it says restart to which i do. when i go back in the speed and acceleration have reset to zero.
I think it has something to do with the 4 way board as the individual one works. Im not sure if there is a setting or something as i did read somewhere about giving ID's but cant find it

Cheers

hi noorbeast. I had set the ports less than ten. Im not sure how to set the ID's to zero so that may be the issue on the 4 way board. when i connected one of the actuators on the single board it worked using the same procedure

Cheers Noorbeast. Just downloaded so will give it a try when home

I just bought 4 x individual rs485 com - usb boards just incase this doesn't work. they should be express for tomorrow so worst case scenario i should still be able to set up this weekend. If i get running tonight ill just return them. I didnt want to take a chance and it not work tonight then have to wait until wednesday. I'm too exited lol

well I hope my bits arrive tomorrow. Got no joy from TBVST or Mvst. I tried using the slider and not typing in the numbers. This did actually save the speed and acceleration info but still no movement.

Hi noorbeast. Im using 95% axis
@nclabs did say 4 way cards are best avoided but i already had it. Its not looking good for my bits tomorrow either now as just checked and they are still processing the order even though i paid ups for an early Saturday delivery.
Sim tools is defiantly recognising the com ports as i have disconnected them and open simtools and it said it cant find them.

It safer to set the limit on 90% but it isn't surely the problem here. Do you have some comports above 10? Can you move at least 1 actuator with the output testing?

Hi @nclabs. All sorted now. I just purchased individual boards
