General Mach Discussion / Max CL mode vs Max NC mode - motor pinouts?
« on: February 01, 2006, 10:59:17 AM »
I don't have a MAXNC machine or documentation so I don't know anything about this.
I was watching the "how to" video on installing Mach3 and there was a comment about selecting Max CL or Max NC mode. It said when you check one of these, you don't need to set the motor pinouts. Great, but what are the pinouts assigned to these outputs for each axis? I did not see that anywhere in the documentation. What is the difference between these two settings? Is Max CL mode a 2 bit quadrature wave drive and Max NC mode a 4 bit quadrature wave drive? What is the axis drive signal sequence of these outputs?
Thanks.
