Hi to everyone from California:
I'm new to cnc. Built the machine no problem, I have the softwear and a driver from MECHTRONICS for bi polar motor. I also have 3 bi polar "23KM-K255-P1v motors. I have hooked up everything but can't get the mach 3 mill make my motor move. I load G cods from the wizard just to try the motor and communication. but nothing happens when the program is running. But I also have a cheap program just to make the motor move which does the job. LOL what do I have to do please help: any help is good. Thanx fellows. E mail: frmco@sbcglobal.net
