I finally have my machine wired up, but cant get any movement in Mach3. When I turn on the power supply, I am getting good holding torque and the motors are not warming up.
I am using a 5-axis BOB from Ebay (5 Axis CNC Breakout Board Interface Adapter F Stepper Motor Driver DB25 Cable | eBay)
I set the motor outputs in Mach3 according to the instructions that came with it:
X-Axis: Enabled (checkbox), Step pin 2, Dir pin 14
Y-Axis: Enabled (checkbox), Step pin 16, Dir pin 3
Z-Axis: Enabled (checkbox), Step pin 7, Dir pin 8
And the Output signals:
Enable 1: Port 1, Pin 1
Enable 2: Port 1, Pin 1
Enable 2: Port 1, Pin 1
Enable 2: Port 1, Pin 1
I have Wantai DQ860MA drivers (Stepper Motor Driver DQ860MA:Stepper Motor Driver DQ860MA wholesaler) wired in the Yin configuration with the +Step, +Dir and +Enab wired to the Step, Dir, and Enab pins on the BOB. I have the BOB ground for each axis wired to the -Step, -Dir, Gnd and -Enab terminals on the driver.
The driver has wiring for 2 motor poles (A and B). I am using this Nema 34 motor (High-Torque Stepper Motor, Stepper Motor, Driver, Stepper Motor kit, DC Servo Motor, DC Servo Motor kit, Stepper Motor Power Supply, CNC Router, Spindle, and other Components. Automation Technology Inc).
Please Help!!!
Thanks in advance.
