I'm using a Probotix relay board to turn the router on/off.  Does the spindle command activate the board. I'm using Mach3mill post processor. Also the board is configured to drive "A".

I've got the limit switches working in series, but if I engage one with my machine, how do I configure the software to move off the LS.  Soft limits or what.  Also how do I show my configuration page on the forum?

I have wired all of the limit switches in series, X,Y,Z, checked them with Ohm meter, readings are as they should be, wired to breakout board Grnd. to Grnd., the other to pin 12.  How do I set up the pins and ports on the software for them to work.

« on: June 14, 2008, 01:05:27 PM »

I just started setting up my machine after rewiring for limits, and now I can't get the motors to move.  I am using Probotix 3 axis system, all of the board lights come on normal, have checked the power outputs as described, but the motors will not move.  I tried hooking up one motor at a time, using the last motor tuning info. , which was working, but now the motors work move.  I have even un-wired the input wires to the limits, but still motors do not move.  What do I check Now..........

Hepl please............

General Mach Discussion / Direction change makes the stepper motor run ruff.

« on: June 10, 2008, 02:35:07 PM »

I am using the Probotix stepper motor controllers, and after tuning the axis motor, it runs smooth in one direction, but when I change direction, the motor runs ruff or stalls.  What am I doing wrong.

Need help please
