My machine doesn’t move

You’ve opened UCCNC, pressed the reset button and move over to the jog controls or home all, and the machine doesn’t move. What now?

Which icon did you open UCCNC from?

profile

UCCNC should be opened from the icon on the left. The profile installed during setup. If you do not have an icon like the one on the left you will need to go back and run the screensetinst.exe file from the “Stepcraft” folder of the UCCNC install disc. You do not have un-install UCCNC for this work.

When you run the screensetinst.exe you will select what machine you have. In this example an Stepcraft 2 Model 840 with the 3D print head, so you would select the normal profile and the profile indicating 3D printer.

screensetinst

Once you have that completed you should be able to move the machine. It may stop before the end of travel if the machine is not homed. Click home all, and wait for the machine to finish, then you’ll be able to move the full range of movement for your machine.
