Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / First CNC build

« on: July 13, 2017, 10:54:32 PM »

Hello all.  I am a brand spanking newbie to home CNC.  I never thought about it until 3 weeks ago when my fabrication hobby opted for CNC Plasma.  So I have built a controller here using 4 Gecko G214's (y slaved to a), ESS Smooth Stepper, MB2 BOB and THC3T THC up/dwn (installing npn prox sensors when arrive for home/limit).  The cables are Molex SJOOW shielded 18/4c with GX 20 5 pin I/O connectors and 4 Delta 150 cfm fans in a push pull arrangement.  All this in a Hoffman 20x20x8 nema enclosure. Just installed Mach3 a bit ago.  I think I understand.  Just configure I/Os to match my BOB.  Any input appreciated.  Never did this before 3 weeks ago. I'm this far by reading alone.  Thanks
