General Mach Discussion / Frustrated Newbie,
« on: April 16, 2020, 06:18:34 PM »
Hi Guys,
Please bare with me im 100% new to try this and ive read many posts but to end.
I have a MAXNC-10 ive converted over to better motors via Ebay kit, came with a break out board CCK5560 and M335 drivers plus the MACH3 software.
The PC running it is a old Dell tower case running WinXP.
Issue i have, it wont run the motors.
Ive been over the wiring many times all seems good, i have jumped the power supply 5v from one M335 to the other to which ive now added another...still no go.
The kit came with no instructions, the unit lights up no issue so i gather ive got that part right.
Now the basic settings, that seems to be a issue ive read endless settings and watched some videos and still no go, remember im a newbie so dont hate on me too much
I messaged Artsoft but got no reply, so what im after is some guidance please.
That being from setting the printer port up from PC to setting the Dip switches on the M335 to Config the ports & pins.
Sorry for the long rant, oh and i down loaded the latest version of Mach3 and still no go or does it mean the demo free stuff doesnt run it ?
On a side note, i plugged in the old MAXNC hardware and clicked the settings in the config for it and it ran mint, but its also imperial i want metric plus the standard stepper motors for the MAXNC are weak.
Many thanks for you time.
