Title: motor don't move
Post by: garhar1 on July 11, 2009, 12:12:12 PM

Just starting.  Xylotex board.  Double checked wiring.  Vrefs all 1.86V.  VBB 24.8 V checked.
Set X, Y, and Z for pin 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Step Dir.  Can't get limit switch ( when switched) to show on Diagnostics.  Motors won' jog, although the position DRO moves when arrows pressed. 
Tried Paralell Port BIOS settings of output only, bidirectional, EPP, and ECP, with no motro action on any.
Can some one point me in a direction?
Thanks,

Hi, Garhar1

I think this board needs to run in Sherline 1/2 step mode in Mach3, See pic 1, There should be 3 Jumper on ENA# just above (X,Y,Z,) Axis Labels also pic 2.
