Mach3 and G-Rex / Reviving old table that won't fire
« on: March 23, 2021, 11:19:20 PM »
Hi all,
I am brand new to the site and to using a cnc table. Ha! However, I am not new to computers, so I thought why can't I figure this out?
I was given the task at my company to setup this table and see if I can make it work, it used to at one point but the plasma cutter was a different machine.
So I am able to load a g-code and have it move but it won't trigger the plasma to so anything.
So here is the setup:
Software: sheetcam and mach3
Plasma machine: hypertherm powermax 125
Table:
- breakout board DB25-1205 https://www.steppermotorcanada.ca/db25-1205f.pdf
-2-way relay https://randomnerdtutorials.com/guide-for-relay-module-with-arduino/
And 4 drivers for two drivers on the Y motors, one on Z and one on X.
It looks like the pins on the breakoutboard 2-9 are the motor signal outputs? And the 2 way relay is to fire.
I will attach screens of my settings to see if you guys could be so kind to help me find the missing pieces to getting this to work.
