General Mach Discussion / Mach3 - Motors moving with keyboard arrows, but not with running program
« on: April 16, 2019, 06:17:49 PM »
Hey guys, how are you?
Newbie here! So any help will be much appreciated.
We're working with Mach3, Nema 34 motors and an interface like this one: https://es.aliexpress.com/store/product/High-Quality-CNC-5-Axis-Interface-Adapter-Breakout-Board-For-Stepper-Motor-Driver-Mach3-with-no/435539_32946605111.html
Here is the thing. We can control the motors with arrow keys on keyboard (slow but moving), but when we load a G-Code into the Mach3 and we start the program and it's supposed to start moving and milling, the router starts, the program starts, but motors are FROZEN. We can see the program running into the preview screen (it also ends) but the 3 axes never move
It's like there's something missing in between the milling and the motors. Or any place near there...
We're using the relay on the board, with port 17 as it's mentioned on the assembly instructions.
Any idea to try?
Thanks in advance dudes!
Ernesto.
