I have a brushless spindle motor and I want Mach 4 to control it. I have a Warp9 ESS Smooth Stepper with a CNC4PC C82 Board and a C89 Board. How could I do it using the board it came with?

Now when I am setting up home switches and putting the info into the Homing/Limits screen. What should be my soft max input for the table size. Should it be the actual size of the table or the stroke of the table?

Thank You Nathan

General Mach Discussion / XHC Mach3 4-axis control card with M542t drivers and Nema 24 stepper motors

« on: December 03, 2016, 08:23:36 PM »

I am having a hard time getting the steppers to move. They worked on my parallel 5 axis breakout board. I have win7 32bit operating system. the 5v led flashes quick and the work led flashes slow. Not sure how they are supposed to blink. Can any one post some pictures of their setup and parameter settings in Mach3? I have 36 volts to all drivers and 12v to the power. Any help would be appreciated.

General Mach Discussion / ST-V2 Breakout Board and Sunfar E500 Wiring and setup in Mach 3

« on: October 31, 2016, 09:34:37 AM »

Hi I am Nathan and I am new to all of this and I am looking forward to getting this mill up and running

I have a ST-V2 Breakout Board and a Sunfar E500 2.2kw vfd and I can't get the spindle to spin thru Mach 3 PWM. I looked for detailed wiring print and can't find anything on either the breakout board or vfd. I need some help with making sure I have it wired correctly and the setup in Mach 3 also.


Thank You Nathan
