General Mach Discussion / Red/CAM PDMX 122
« on: January 21, 2020, 09:20:44 AM »
Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a used Red Cam CNC benchtop machine and I’m having troubles getting it going. I am using Mach 3 on my laptop as a controller. It is a PDMX 122 breakout board. I feel like my problem is in the ports and pins configuration. Pins 2 and 3 are not illuminating on the breakout board which I’m told nothing will work until they are working.
I have port 1 enabled, and the XYZ axis are configured as the PDMX manual states. Output signals I have charge pump enabled 1/17.
It could also be a communication error from the breakout board to my laptop as I can’t get the reset to flash on Mach 3 via pressing my actual E-stop button on the machine.
Can’t really figure out what else I need, any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
