Title: Can't get started again.
Post by: james elder on March 10, 2010, 07:42:35 AM

Hello Guys.
I have moved premises, and it involved taking the machine to pieces.
I have missed something out in the reassembly, because I can't get the machine to 'energize'. Normally as Mach3 starts up there is a click from all the steppers, and we have power. I am not getting that, or any lights on the Geckos, although there are one or two on the circuit board. Mach3 and PC seem fine, just not the machine.
What should I look for?

Jim

Just have to check the wiring and make sure everything is connected properly, maybe also check that the port is seated properly if it is a PCI port you are using.
