    x-axis not showing values in DRO on patriot 4x8 new setup

    I'm not sure if this is the right spot to ask. I have a patriot 4x8 with all Candcnc electronics.

    on setting things up today, I got into mach 3 and went to diagnostics to see if I could job the drives, I have them all joging in the correct directions and the Z and Y show correct values on the DRO.

    But the x-axis shows nothing when I jog it? I see accel rate change in the slaved "A" axis dro but still no movement?

    Any insight would be great, at a stand still due to this.
