General Mach Discussion / Re: no movement on y axis
« on: November 27, 2013, 12:05:57 PM »
I switched off (disabled the limit switches) for all axis. The only Input Signal remaining enabled is the EStop with active low disabled. Still got an EStop when moving in the Y direction only when jogging motion stopped. I noticed that the only Output Signal enabled was the charge pump (port#1 & pin 1). I then disabled the Charge Pump and then jogged in all directions without tripping an estop after multiple attempts to do so. I then turned the Charge Pump back on (enabled) and rejogged in all directions. The Estop returned, again only on Y axis movement and only when jogging stops. Is it ok to operate with the charge pump disabled? Any other advice?
My 10,000 uf, 50 volt capacitor arrived today. I intend to connect it to my power supply interrupting a short between the positive to negative terminals. Is that ok or does it need a resistor in series with it?
