Hi guys, thanks for your replies. Here is the link for the board that I have installed here:
https://wholesaler.alibaba.com/product-detail/3-Axis-Stepper-Servo-Motor-Breakout_445923625.html OK Tweaky, here is what works: The outputs for the motors work fine (axes A,X,Y,Z) on connector J3. Also on J4 for the inputs all seems to be fine. Connectedare pin 5,7,9 as home switches, pin 10 - 13 (e-stop, torch on, up, down). But I checked the other pins on the board, like to change the pin numbers for THC to the other pins and the inputs still work all right (on the LED's on the board and the diagnose display). All pins set on port one.
But on J5, the pins 0-7 don't work. eventhough I set the pins on port 1 whatever number I want (1, 2-9, 14,16,17). First thing that bothered me was that the numbers on the board don't match the numpers of pins. So i checked them all nevertheless. This by testing them with ameter as well as connecting them to pin 15 on J4 (to see if the LED would lid). NOTHING!
The other config windows are like this:
Port Setup and axis selection the settings are: Port address: 0x378 and 0x278 (only port 1 enabled), Kernel speed 25000Hz. Nothing else checked in this window.
Encoder set up: Nothing used
Spindle set up: Spindle relays not disabled (output 3 +4), Mist and flood disabled, nothing else enabled that can be checked and no other changes were made to the other parameters here.
Mill Options: "Allow THC Up/Down Control even when not in THC Mode" and "Advanced Compensation Analysis" are checked. Nothing else is.
I think that is all in the ports and pin config. Any ideas?
Please let me know. Any help is really appreciated. This frustrating. I am fighting with this problem for more than a week now. Thanks in advance for your replies, Karl
