Perhaps check that your CAD/CAM generated Gcode does in fact have the origin X0, Y0 at the true centre of the wheel.

So far, my thoughts are, "what did I get myself into?"

Hi Rick,

Welcome to the forum.

I think you have got yourself into the most incredible adventure you could possible imagine.

A couple of screenshots taken from the CHINACNCZONE software installation video (from their website). This is yet another Chinese business peddling a Pirate Mach3 Licence.

Another Chinese enterprise NOVUSUN (or is it a previous business re-branded ??) has it's installation software automatically install their supplied Pirate License.

The USB to the breakout board only supplies it's 5V power requirement and you will need the 12-24V power supply if you use any inputs or outputs to/from this board.
When you connect the power to each driver connect + and - back to the supply in each case (do not daisy-chain).

Hi Wolfram,

I have no answer to that. 
The "port 1 pins current state" led's are bit of a mute point - sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.

Hi Wolfram,

Welcome to the forum.

4) I want to start the spindel when push start button even there are no M3 or S… codes and stop it after program

I have not tried this but you could perhaps give it a try.

Using a Mach3 screen designer change the Cycle Start button from OEM to Execute VB Script.
Then within Mach3 insert into the Cycle Start button…

DoSpinCW()
DoOEMButton(1000)

That should turn on the spindle (as M3) then perform the Cycle Start.

To stop the spindle at program end then in Config. / General Config , check the ‘Turn off all outputs’ box in ‘Pgm End or M30 or Rewind’ box.

Seams this forum is a bit dead....

It's generally best to start a new thread if a topic has been dormant for a extended period of time.

This is probably the wiring info you are missing.

Ignore the stepper motor wire colours shown here (check your motor to determine the correct A, A+, B, B+ wires).
At this stage do not connect the ENA wire.

Hope this helps.
