DIR+ (driver) is connected to DIR pin (motor connector)
DIR- (driver) is connected to GND pin (motor connector). DIR- and PULL- are connected with the same cable to ground on the Pokeys Motor Connector

Thanks! It runs!
Mach would throw a 'emergency button error', but I had to revert the stop settings in the pokeys configuration.
Only 'problem' now is that the stepper turns, but it turns only to one side, doesn't matter if I press the < or > arrow on the keyboard.

PoKeys / Pokeys57CNC Driver Connection
« on: October 30, 2016, 03:05:10 PM »
Hi all

I'm trying to get my steppers running

This is what I did
I have a Pokeys57CNC board
steppers with 4 wires
DM542A drivers from Longsmotor


I can see my Pokeys board in Mach3.
But the steppers are not running yet.
I think I did something wrong with the wiring from pokeys to driver


Pul + (+5V) to the Pokeys 5V motor connector
Pul - to STEP pin on the Pokeys motor connector
Dir + (+5V) to the Pokeys 5V motor connector
Dir - to DIR pin on Pokeys motor connector

I didn't connect the ENBL pins

Thanks for the replies
The CS labs board looks very good, but the M model doesn't work with a slave axis. It won't get aligned properly.
Had contact with CS labs. The more expensive models are able to do it, but they are too expensive.

General Mach Discussion / Which Control/Breakout Board
« on: July 04, 2016, 03:18:57 PM »
Hi

I'm currently busy building my new CNC machine.
And I'm looking for a control/breakout board that works with Mach3.

I use 3 axis (2 steppers on Y, 1 driver on X, 1 driver on Z)

I want to use a home switches on all axis, e-stop and a probe.
Documentation/support from the manufacturer would be nice.

USB or LPT is fine.

Which board satisfies my needs?

I'm not into the Chinese breakout boards. Very bad experience with Chinese stuff.

I'm located in Europe. So please no USA suppliers/manufactures of control boards :)

Hi John,
Microstep resolution goes from 400 to 25.000 if I check my manual.
I configured it to 2000 by using the dip switches on the driver.



Went to Ports and Pins config in Mach:
step pin: 2
dir pin: 3
Dir lowactive enabled
step lowactive enabled
step port 1
dir port 1

Then I went to Tuning and SEtup
Steps per: 2000
Velocity: 60
Acc: 10
Step pulse: 5
Dir pulse: 5

Wow thanks for the quick reply.
Yes, I connected different motors and they all do the same.
I only connected 1 axis at the moment to test.

General Mach Discussion / Steppermotors don't run smooth
« on: January 27, 2014, 11:45:14 AM »
Hi

I'm trying to configure Mach3 (demo) with my stepper motors

Setup:
4x Nema23 (4,2a)
4x DQ542MA
Wantai motor DB25 Breakout board

I connected it with my PC and I can get the motors runnings. The problem is: they don't run smooth, make allot of noise, and vibrate.
I configured the driver for 2000 steps. And also configured it in the Motor Tuning and Setup configuration.

I connected everything like this (the wiring diagram comes from wantai motors):
