General Mach Discussion / Re: Port 1 Pins Current State

Thanks so much. You can count me among the throngs who "knew" it was wired correctly. Everything was, except the limit switches, which I had daisy-chained incorrectly.
Getting the voltmeter out and probing around I found that I was only getting 5 volts to my first switch. I was not going from com to NC to each subsequent switch. When I corrected that, everything worked and I had a brief moment of Euphoria.
Thank you so much, ! I see that you answer many questions and I appreciate your help. You should be on ArtSoft's payroll.

General Mach Discussion / Port 1 Pins Current State

« on: August 24, 2009, 02:59:02 PM »

Like many other posts I have read, my DRO's respond to the up and down arrows on my keyboard, but I get no motor movement. I am using the Keling package with the C10 BOB, 4030 Drivers, and 425oz motors.
I have checked ports, get no errors, rechecked wiring, etc.... I am using the motor tuning recommended on their website. I do notice though, that in the Diagnostics screen, the Port 1 Pins Current Statehas no lights lit up.
when I played with the e-stop port 15, that one pin will light up.
I will try swapping out the parallel printer cable after work, but I don't think at this point this is the problem.
Any suggestions? Different motor tuning, configuration, jumper settings, etc...?

Thanks, Jim

Hi,

I have the same package,(Keling 425oz, C10 bob, and 4030 drivers) and I can't get my motors moving. The DRO's work, and I know my motors are locking in when I turn them on.
What are your Motor Tuning Settings? Any other suggestions?

Thanks, Jim
