FAQs / CNC 6040 CNC USB set up
« on: July 21, 2019, 12:43:04 PM »
Hello all,
Newbie to the forum here.
Bought a 6040 1.5W spindle (yes, made in China) with USB connection. Of course, the seller neither included any assembly instructions nor system set up instructions. Fortunately after days of searching the web, i was able to have the unit "ON". Here are my 2 biggest challenges:
1. All system configuration literatures are written for "parallel" port set ups when they talk about pins 1 to 17. I need to set up configs with USB connection, and
2. No matter what I tried (changing d0032 to 1, or vice versa), the spindle will not "spin". All step motors operate normally.
Any words of wisdom and tips would be greatly appreciated!
