General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 spindle setup problems
« on: June 02, 2015, 06:21:05 AM »
Hi There, I am trying to upgrade a lathe to a spindle with step/dir and cannot get anything to move, does anyone know if there are any hidden options or interlocks that might be stopping movement?

- If I swap Pulse output pins between my Z axis and spindle, then the servo for spindle moves and Z stepper does not, so wiring to servo and servo parameters seem fine.
- The spindle is set up in ports-pins/spindle, the output pins are setup in motor outputs, currently in motor tuning all numbers are the same as the Z axis since they give visible movement to the servo( although much higher and lower steps/unit have been tried)
- I have tried M3 S5000, the spindle button in manual mode and the up arrow in motor tuning(this works for the other axis), I have also tried setting up the Z axis(functions fine) step/dir pins to be a spindle and nothing responds to spindle commands.
