Mach4 with MicroProto controller Taig 5019
« on: January 23, 2022, 12:15:05 PM »
Hello,

I have a new to me Taig DSLS with the VSS spindle.  I'm using Mach4 and a UC100 for a couple of my other machines with no issues.

On this machine, I have gotten the spindle to operate when commanded by Mach4 as well as the limit switches working properly. So this tells me the uc100 is communicating properly.

Problem:  I cannot get any movement from the motors.  They are engerized but will not move when commanded, jog or g-code.  I've tried two different uc100 with no changes.  Is there some unique settings I'm missing for the encoders?

Thank you for the help.

Thank you for the reply.  I did find my mistake on Sunday, it was the board enable, which is pin 1!   Interesting, I did not enable pin 17 like you did, but I can turn my spindle on and off with Mach 4.  What is pin 17 for?

Thanks!
