HiCON Motion Controller / Re: motor config problem with mach4 + Hicon

Dominique,
Before I make the step/dir cable connections, Just let me confirm that in single ended sourcing outputs
and inputs to my driver, I would jumper the step- to dir-(on controller), send dir- to com(0v) on the driver, send dir+
to dir+ and step+ to step+, does that sound good?

Hi Marc,
That profile matched the original mill3 I setup, still grayed out, but I was able to solve the problem by turning off everything I could
in Windows 10, rebooting and after that the motors were able to be selected.

Next question, are the step and direction outputs TTL 5v input compatible?

HiCON Motion Controller / motor config problem with mach4 + Hicon

« on: February 26, 2017, 06:18:29 PM »

Mach4 build 4.2.0.3233
HiCON Integra 7766
HiCON Plug-in 2.01.47
Windows 10 pro/ dell optiplex 7010

Hello, first post for help with my mill build.
After install and setup of both program and plug-in, setting mapping and motors to:
X-0 = motor-0
Y-1 = motor-1
Z-2 = motor-2
B-4 = motor-4
Checked Boxes in motor config, set motor indexs and settings in HiCON.
Nothing I have tried will allow me to set steps and config in Mach4 motor config, the first 5 boxes are grayed out on every motor.
Any suggestions for what I'm missing?
Set-up a new profile with mach 6 axis and reconfigured everything, no change.

Thank,
Steve
