Hi there!
About a week an a half ago I STOLE a nice CNC bridgeport on ebay and WAS this close to cutting my first part (REALLY) until...
I turned the computer off and now have a "axis 4" (on main screen only) not set up or in any setups.
My abnormal light was blinking (1 or more axis enabled/disabled I believe) until I told it not to error (mistake). Nnow it says axis not refed to normal conditions (I WAS trying to setup a homing system on x & y but never really got it and it appears to still be setup without homes.
PROBLEM IS: when I jog.. x& y work as expected... but z uses reversed keys and goes WAY faster than it's supposed to & setup to be! I had this working perfectly for days
Besides my problem I'd also like to know:
What is an "a" axis?
What is "Event driven serial control" and "servo serial feedback" (which asks for a password) checkboxes in setup do?
Reason I'm so concerned is my servos (Aerotech BM800's) have the normal 2 millitary cables, but also a 9 pin pigtail. It all came wired and ziptied and the 3 9 pins went to the computer where the 2 extra com ports are not even active in windows!?!? Aerotech tech says the 9 pins shouldn't be used???
I'm using a sound logic parallel board. SPECIAL THANKS TO ROBERT for help getting my timing issues resolved & motors tuned!!!
