General Mach Discussion / Mechtronics 4 axis board with 3 Keling 8 wire steppers

« on: January 26, 2009, 03:39:57 PM »

Hi,

Mach 3 world! My name is William.

I'm building a x-y cnc using a Mechtronics 4 axis board, 3 Keling 8 wire steppers (KL23H286-20-8B) and of course Mach 3 software. I'm having problems getting everything working. I'm not sure wheither to set up the steppers series or parallel (2 different wiring configurations). Also I'm not sure if I have the Mach 3 is communicating with Mechtronics board - I'd like to just jog the motors knowing  are connected and functional before I try g-code.

Can anyone point me the right direction to get this going?

Thanks,
