Re: First try machine won't run error codes

Decimal point in the wrong place

Hi there, I have most of my CNC machine now working, the distance traveled is correct but the decimal point needs to shift two places to the left. I realize this is probably something simple but I have no idea how to change it. I took a clip from one of your other videos showing the readout with the...
