Hello- I have a Genmitsu 3018 PROVer cnc router, and I'm having a problem that is not covered in any of the information provided by Sainsmart. I am using the Candle software to control the machine. I successfully ran the test regimen on my wife's computer, but when I try to run it on mine there's a problem. When I attempt to use the 'jog' controls the motors make a sort of quiet ratcheting noise, but the drive rods do not move the x,y, and z axis. They are not bound up; with no load on they turn freely and the head and table move as expected.
When I hit the button to zero the height the everything works as expected; the spindle and motor move downward. When I press 'home' the head and table move to the home position. The spindle motor spins up just as it should. It's only when I try to use the 'jog' controls that it doesn't work. Any idea what's going on?
