General Mach Discussion / Searching for help in Raleigh NC, Logitrol startup problems
« on: October 01, 2009, 09:39:38 PM »
I have a 1996 Lagunmatic 3 axis knee mill that used to have a nonfunctioning Dynapath system. I bought a Logitrol system from lowcostretrofits.com. They're located in Australia so customer service is delayed at best. All the parts are pretty much universal and based around 4 gecko320 drives.
I did have the system working but something went sadley wrong when I got to the point of hooking up the limit and home switches. Now the motors won't engage with Mach3 running. I can get the motors to engage with the printer cable unplugged, and I can control them if I plug the printer cable back in with the motors still enaged.
Past that, the Auto limit override won't let me back off the limit switch as covered in the video tutorial. I haven't gotten any farther than that in the set up.
I've been F$%#%$^% with this thing for 5-6 hours a day for 6 days and I'm not making any progress. I would like to find someone local who has experience who would be willing to set this up and show me where I went wrong. I have 2 more of these to do.
Please reply with your availablity and compensation requirments. I'm located on the south side of raleigh in Willow Spring 27592 near i40.
