Hi Dave,
doesn't look like anything too serious... the first few errors are saying
that it
is reading the hardware limit switch inputs and is detecting that the switch
is tripped. If you have the switches hooked up, then they may be in the
wrong place or wrong polarity signal. If you are running with no machine I/O
hooked up, then go into your ini file and toggle the polarity bits for the
x,y,z axis hard limits. Once you get them properly set, you should be able
to get out of estop and to get into manual mode for jogging. The latter
bunch of complaints refer to the fact you were trying to jog while in estop.
It may take a few tries to get the polarities right and it the machine out
of estop, but that is the first step.
There is also an external estop input that you may have to toggle the
polarity of.
Have fun, things should run with no i/o hooked up... just be sure you have
not left your printer plugged in to the parallel port or things could get
very confused when emc starts toggling the bits.
