Hi all, firstly thank you for your responses.

I am going to take some snaps of the board today, not sure how to attach them onto this post yet, i'll have a look in a sec.

I have checked all connections and all seem fine, i have tried changing the motors over on the different axis's and the motors work fine, just not on the z axis

cheers

Hi all, appologies if this is in the wrong forum...

i have connected all my motors and power etc to the controller board, loaded MACH3 sotware, went to run the motors and i appear to be having problems.

If i tell x axis and y axis to move they are fine, however if i tell z axis to move the motor does nothing but x motor and y motor both vibrate. i have soldered all of the ends of the wiring, to give a good connection, ensured all connections are tight and secure, uninstalled software and reinstalled it but it makes no difference...

ANY TIPS

Anything would be appreciated as it is now delaying the project

cheers

Hi, my name is stephen and i work for a sign making company.

some years ago we attempted to create a cnc router table, unfortunatley not too long after purchasing a couple of versions of plans the project was shelved. However, it has now been started again.

We have tried to do a lot of research and subsiquently begun the project again from scratch, incorporating a number of different styles of machine and methods.

I have just purchased a copy of mach3 and are about to have a bit of a play to familiarise myself with the software, in eager anticipation of getting the machine up and running.

I am going to have a good scout through the forums and hope i can post some pics of our progress.

Cheers
stephen
