I am running Mach3 Version R3.043.022 (the build the really bad looking green Settings screen).
The tb6560 stepper motor driver controller board is the interface between the Steppers and the PC.
http://www.nbglin.com/tb6560.htmMotors make noise but shafts do not move. I have increased the pulse width (in Motor Tune) of the step pulse from 0 to 5 in 1uS increments. No motor shaft movement. I have tuned the motors so they sound smooth and don't jerk on the table but still no shaft movement. If I turn the Slow Jog Rate to 1% or lower, the motors grind but the shafts do not move. Below 1% and the shafts oscillate but do not actually rotate.
I have been unable to get any forward or backward movement out of the motors.
I found several different Port / Pin settings that make the motors make sound but none that make the shafts turn.
The motors are wired with Red to ZA+, Blue to ZA-, Green to ZB+ and Black to ZB- and so on on the other two motors.
My DC supply from Mean Well is set for 24.08V and will support up to 14.5A before dropping below 22V.
In searching for the correct Port Pin settings, this is what I found -
On one web page:
Axis Step Dir
-----------------------
X 2 3
Y 4 5 Y axis makes noise if 4 is changed to 14
Z 6 7
and on another:
X 1 7
Y 8 3
Z 5 4
and another setting that I found makes the motors make noise but still not move the shafts:
X 2 7
Y 14 3
Z 6 4
http://www.fozztexx.com/CNC/HY-TB3DV-M_3Axis_Driver.pdfI must be missing something in my configuration but after watching all of the videos and searching the web I found nothing incorrect.
I did select "inch" and wish I had left everything in "mm" as the entire setup would have been easier.
Any help in getting the motor shafts turning the way they should would be greatly appreciated by this complete novice CNC builder.
Oh, BTW, I am modifying a Grizzly MILL with parts from CNC Fusion.
