Forum suggestions and report forum problems. / Motors wont turn
« on: May 24, 2008, 02:50:54 AM »
Hi Folks,

I am new to this and have nearly finished my machine and am trying to get the motors to run on the bench.  I have a three axis xylotex drive box with three 425oz in motors.  The computer is running XP and through a PCI parallel port.  The low voltage on board port is disabled through BIOS and the PCI port is addresses as 378h LPT1.  I have set the pins as per the sheet from xylotex, got the eStop thing sorted out so the reset works, run the driver utility which was OK, but the motors will still not go.  when I power up the drive box the motors make a thunk sound but wont budge again.  If I give a G0 X10 Y10 etc the DRO indicates movement as does the jog control... no movement.  The motors get quite hot but the guy at xylotex said it is normal and to try this forum.  Any ideas??

Cheers,

John.
