General Mach Discussion / OK. Now What? Mach2 question

« on: September 17, 2007, 09:19:07 PM »

Hmmmmmm. I've gotten Mach 2 to fire up the motors, but they don't seem to want to turn. Just vibrate.A lot. I'm certain I have them wired in right. So there must be something in Mach2 I'm not doing right. Tuning the motors Up or Down seems to have no effect. When I go to jog them, the crosshairs make BIG moves. BTW the motors aren't hooked up to anything at the moment.
Here is the setup;
Dell Optiplex GX 110 1100mhz
Campbel Designs breakout board
Gecko 201s x 3
Power supply 38V@10A
Mach2
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
