Interesting Tweakie, what about the signal grounds like pins 18-25 on a DB25 connector? can that be grounded at both ends? I hope.

Tony

Hi Tony,

Yes, the 18-25 is common signal GND between the PC and the controller but remember that this is signal GND, it is not Earth.

Hi Joe,

The demo version of Mach3 is limited to 500 lines of code so you can 'try before you buy'.  http://www.machsupport.com/licensing/

Problem is what can be wrong? The axis drives work, but, the machine will not JOG.

Perhaps also check that you have the 'Jog ON/OFF' button enabled (green border).

Hi Hobbit13,

Welcome to the forum.

The centre taps are not used so Red / Black (A, A) and Yellow / Blue (B , B) are your connections.
There is excellent info on steppers at the Gecko site here  http://www.geckodrive.com/support.html

One possibility, perhaps, would be to drill & tap a small grubscrew hole in each end of the existing couplers then grind a small flat on the screw and motor shafts. ?

Hi Joe,

Welcome to the forum. 

If you post your question, as a 'new topic' in the General Mach Discussion section you should get the answers you need. Please include details of your 'new helper', so it can be identified (pictures would be great - use the Additional Options to attach pics). I am sure someone will know the correct pin settings etc.
