Grandpa,
This is a DMC-1740, ISA card, GalilTools wont connect to it. I can only use the DMC Smart Terminal, so I can see all the input states, but cant actually turn outputs on or off. Ive put my scope on the outputs and theres never a change of state, but maybe thats since theres no load current? IDK im hoping to find someone with another 1900 board that has gotten it working before and can show me some examples. Ive set all the ports and pins per the Galil Plugin guide on Machsupport and everything else works fine, the machine homes, limits work, the DRO is accurate and it moves in X and Y nicely. Just needs to get an output or 2 working. Thought about using the enable port if worse came to worse.
Im dealing right now with trying to get my last drive, a Mitsu MR-J3-20A to talk to the 1900. No matter what mode the drive is in, i cant get it to do anything. I can move the motor by hand and the DRO updates, but thats it. about to throw this Mitsu crap away and get another aries drive....
