Again, the date on the PC is one month off because of the beta timer on the software. 11-15-2022 is his date for today. He set it back 1 month for the timer. We changed the encoder counts to 4000 and everything was fixed.

Keith, what you are seeing is old and that's what he had setup when I started helping him. The current steps/rev is 4000 and his turns ratio had been corrected. He's is all sorted out and you'll see this in his latest report.

Not sure where he got the beta version of software but I asked him to go back to the stable 4.80 until the newest came out and low and behold it's out today.

When his new computer arrives he can install 4.82 and he's already made screen shots of all his wizard pages.

I also told him to be sure he sets up the new PC to run CNC12 per Centroids instructions.
