Mach4 General Discussion / Re: How do I get mach 4 to run with Heiz xero3 controller?

« on: December 19, 2015, 11:40:19 AM »

What I'm finding now is that when I load gcode intio mach 4 its no longer showing the simulation on screen. Secondly when i try pressing reference all axes. The machine stops working and I have to reload the software just to get the motors to run again. Any ideas?

The gcode I have is from winpc nc so i'm looking to get xyz and e back to 0000 before kicking off the rest of the code...

Hello again.. I'm afraid I'm going to start asking you guys a lotttta questions :-) How do I get the software to start from xyz 000? How do I change the orientation of the axis? How do you create macros?

Thanks
jem

Its working!  Thank you so much! the motors sound a wee bit weird but they are all moving... I changed to another set of pins and that did the trick... okey dokey then... now to configure the motors etc

ok tried all of that... green lights are on... I can barely hear the motors trying to turn but they aren't moving. Not on any axis...

when the pdmx device is plugged in and the software is off, the z motor starts grinding not moving just grinding. Switch on the software it works.. can see ref signals but no movement whatsoever from the motors which are on but locked.

Have gone through all of the settings and manuals but i cannot figure out how this is supposed to work?

Yep thats the one.

I've fitted a gender changer and it looks like it works. I can see the sensors working. Motors are engaging but too weakly to move.

h!

I have a connection with the machine. I can see the input signals and I can hear very weak movement from the motors on the machine. However I've gone through all the settings looked through all of the mnauals but have no idea how to get the motors to move...

Any ideas?

Thanks
