thanks for all your help so far guys,

as i sed the motors are on low as i totaly re installed mach3 and just did a quick set up to get the motors to jog, i have had it working 100% perfect with everything i have got now, last night i had it working and then for some reason its doing this motor sound but no action thing!

the board is 3x2.1 Amp drivers and the motors are shown below, and that is as much info i have on them, i brought them together nd the motors were set up for the drivers!

i just dont understand how it can work perfect for 10 mins then stop again!

ill try both the xml. files tonight when im home from work, do i just delete the mach3 mill one and back it up and drop these in place one at a time?

5pin din connections
windows 2000 running mach3 - nothing else on it but this programme
connected via parral port 0x378
2.1 amp drivers

and then thats all i know sorry

i put motors vel and acl to minimum and still get the same low rpm noise and still no movement, i think its a total loss i have no idea why it wont work. i never built the cnc controller it came built

i dont know what else to try u have been great tho!

that was changed, like i sed i ony reinstalled it to see if i could get it to jog, i got the whole lot from merchandice, right handed proper ballscrews but pitch im not sure of, i was going to use the in build MPG in mach to set all that up. i only wanted to get it to jog. have u ever come across this befor? i know i must sound really thick, but i have tried to do everything the correct way, and the stepper motors make the same noise when they turn, but not a thing then a few times they have worked perfectly?

hi hood, it was ok few little spikes so i adjusted the motors and it tests ok

the most bloody anyoying thing is i was messing around not doing much and then it worked fine no problems except the z would on go one direction no matter what way i jogged it! mad!

the ports and pins i use this code

3,2
5,4
7,6 and all on port 1

the otherway around and it doesnt work, i have already tried to delete the programm and re load it still the same

could it be a faulty servo boards? i hope not because it works in different modes

i have followed all the mach3 trouble shooting set everything up the way it has told me im fresh out of ideas?

is there a way i could load into mach 3 another operator from somone that loads everything correctly?

i just cant get my head around it

thanks for all your help tho

well the test did its thing and nothing lol

so anyway, i just put the ports and pin modes into "max NC-10 wave" mode and the motors turn but not correctly, bothe the x and z axis move together im guessing this would be for a wire cutter i dunno?

but at least i know my motors work fine

im really buggered now
