Hi all,

I am having Galil DMC-2123 controller with onboard AMP 20540 drive & pittman motors. I want to use MACH3 for 2 axis truning job application where i am going to retrofit a OLD manual lath.

I have downloaded MACH3 & pluging for Galil controller, they are communicating very well but my problem is i want to configure AXIS of Galil controller with Mach3 for turn application.

For example i want to used X & Z axis for turn application how can i do it.
Please advice.

Thanks
Manoj

Hi

When i checked supply voltage across printer port pins they are very small like 3.5v & some times 0.42v.

I am using computer of Intel P2 (2.4Ghz processor , 512 RAM DDR)

I take it you are using a lead from the printer port. I used an old printer cable which I then cut in two. I identified all the pins with each wire and soldered the 25 wires in order 1 - 25 onto a small piece of copper clad strip board.

If you look in Config/Ports and Pins/Motor Output, you can then specify which pins you want the signal to come out of. These are usually 2 and 3, 4 and 5, 6 and 7 for the first three motors. Do not forget to specify Port 1 in the ports column.

You can test if there is any signal on the pins by connecting a TTL/Cmos logic probe to each pin and trying to jog ( without any cards or anything connected). Pins 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9 are the eight outputs used in the stepper motor page. Pins 10,11,12,13 and 15 are inputs. Pins 1,14,16 and 17 are the other four outputs. Pins 18 to 25 are signal ground - and you will need to connect at least one of these to be able to read the port.

You should get a "pulse" reading on the logic probe if a signal is being output.

You can test your cards simply by tapping a positive or negative wire on the "step" input - the motor attached to the driver should react even if it is only a small movement.

If you are getting some signal out on your printer wire, and your cards are giving some signal to the motor, connect up the wired as you have specified in "ports and pins" and it should work.

Hi Whacko

Thanks for the reply.

i am using normal stepper drive ckt with L298 which accepts steps & direction signal
I am using printer port configuration as mention in Mach3.

Could you please advice me what exactly you want me to elaborate.

Hi Friends,

Please help me,

For my hobby CNC project i decided to use MACH3 & stepper motor setup.

Currently i have finished my mechanical framings of Hobby CNC.

Now its time to run Stepper motor on Mach3 but facing problem to it so.
I have design bipolar stepper motor drive using L298 but when i tries
to run using Mach3 & printer port then it fails to work nothing is
happen.

I have preconfigure printer port pins as MACH3 software uses but still
not working.

Can anybody please guide how to resolve this problem.

Regards
Manoj
