Hi,
do any of the axes move?

You'll have to tell us more about your machine.
What PC are you using?
What OS is installed, 32 or 64 bit?
Are you using a parallel port or an external motion controller?
What BoB or motion controller are you using?

thanks, the red led is on without plug parallel cable to computer, no sense , to plug in yet coz is red, no green , thats the problem. Machines is pc 32 bits , mach3, windows xp, no problem with that its with controller box specific, something there vfd settings, or switches, i changed now on, on, on, 3 switches to obtain 3A, and 16 subdivisions (?), more the better, it change led status to red and green on, when i plug and unplug A axis. Its last thing doing this driver A axis.

Hi,
I'm sorry but your reply seems hoplessly confused!

Try answering all the questions...one at a time. I still don't know if you are using a parallel port, I suspect so from your reply,
but I shouldn't have to guess.
You haven't told me anything about your BoB....how about a model and some pictures.

Forget the spindle, the VFD, limits and home switches, until you get the axes to move they are just a distraction.
Current settings and microstepping are going to be important....but not yet. If you can't get the motors to work at all
who cares about microstepping?

hi, this is what i got: windows xp, 32 bits,mach3 , parallel port, 3 axis x,y,z moving. cnc router 6040z from China i bought in ebay 1 year ago, no guarantee now. JP-1635A is driver only for A axis or rotary axis, this driver has 2 leds 1 red, 1 green, the red is on, the green is off (when i turn on control box, of course). The drivers for x,y,z  have green leds on when i turn on control box (computer off/on).
The problem i have is with driver for 4 axis or Aaxis or rotary axis, is not moving, red led is on all the time (computer on/off), my question is how this driver for A axis can be turn off and green led can turn on all the time? its simple question, but is electronic problem or control box problem? i changed driver a axis, same, i changed board jp-845 , this board has port for 4 axis, parallel , same problem. The control box has a little box inside , is the vfd  inverter, "nowforever",  the only remain for change. This vfd has  al ot of parameters, to control drivers, i dont know about it. I cannot move 4 axis with mach3 coz red led is on, so is not windows xp, is not mach3 program, is this driver , but is new, and jp-845 is new. wht's the problem? i need a guru help me  !!! thanks

Hi,
so the X, Y and Z axes are moving?

If so plug the A axis into one of them (X,Y or Z). That should prove whether the driver is OK.
Try plugging the X axis driver into the A axis port. It should tell you if the control box is producing pulses on the A axis.
