trying to get my feet wet with a CNC conversion. Actually, I have 3 unfinished conversions. I'd like to get ONE running at least!
so....
I am retrofitting an Emco 5 CNC. All the OE electronics are gone.
I am using this stepper driver.

Powered by a 12V 5amp power supply (my 24V PS was DOA)
Running Mach3. I have it all hooked up on my desktop, set the Vrefs per the Xylotex instructions.
Connected the 8-wire stepper using the Bipolar series diagram.
Now I'm getting lockup when I apply power, but I can't get it to jog in Mach3.
Any suggestions welcome.
