Initial setup questions...

Hello,

I have 4 Clearpath SD motors and got them configured with MSP, but now I am lost...
I have read the manual and still don't get it on how to do basic things...
- How do I configure the A axis ratio? Should be 6:1
I was able to enable the A axis and do have the F6 command available to turn it on or off... When I go MDI the A axis is way off....
- I have loaded the configuration of the ClearPath SD and I have set in the wizard the CP motors to 1600 per the instructions as well on the MSP from Teknic.

I am looking for direction here because I am completely lost to get the CNC move the correct amount of distance and rotation. Feeling frustrated to say the least and I do have the Pro license.

Turns /deg = 6/360 = .016667

Hi Gary,

I got all axis moving correctly now thanks to you my friend!
I do have limit switches on the CNC and if someone would be kind enough to point me on the documentation on to setup Home and the different offsets I can have I would appreciate it. I will read through the manual to see if I can find the information as well.
