Hi all,
I m from India, and I m trying to convert my lathe to mach3 based Cnc. So before going for the actual setup I thought I wud make a single axis setup without hooking the motor to actual machine, and try to run the nema 34 stepper motor using mach 3 ,a breakout board and stepper drive procured from tinycontrols.com.after completing the setup the motor doesn't moves at all.
1) when I power on the system the rotor gets locked.
2)when I use the keyboard left and right arrow keys the led indicator on the bob for step glows and when I change the direction(I. e when I press the left arrow key the led for direction on bob glows and I get a slight jerk on the stepper motor.)
3)I can see the direction of motor or tool on screen of mach 3.
I4)on the axis tab I have only selected z axis.
5)I have kept the chardest pump signal on and I can see its led indicator on bob glowing.
So can anybody plz tell me what is the problem or why the motor is not moving.
Thx in advance.
