I should buy new controller.

<< < (2/2)

reuelt:
I would FIRST swap the X & Y wires at the controller to check & rule out whether it is the wiring connection or soldering at the plugs or the x-axis Stepper motor that is faulty or not.

X on the chip may just mean that chip is to be connected to the x-axis.

JP-3163B ver. 3.9
Pin 1: Spindle on/off Relay 1(active low)
Pin 2: X Axis Step (active low)

Pin 7: Z Axis Dir (active low)
Pin 8: A Axis Step (active low)
Pin 9: A Axis Dir (active low)
Pin 10:Estop (active low)
Pin 11: X Axis Limit Switch (active high) = when NC switch(es) open
Pin 12: Y Axis Limit Switch (active high)
Pin 13: Z Axis Limit Switch (active high)
Pin 14: Buffer Chips “Enable” controlled by computer if Jumper 3 is set to 1-2 position
Pin 15: Probe (active low)
Pin 16: Is supposed to turn Relay 2 on/off but is currently not connected in board.
Pin 17: PWM 0-10V for VFD Spindle AN1 (if jumper 4 is in default 1-2 position) active low
Pin 18: Gnd
Pin 19: Gnd
Pin 20: Gnd

Microstep Mode (on each Axis X, Y, Z but A is on separate JP-1635A driver board)
K1    K2 
OFF OFF 1   = NO MICROSTEP 
OFF OFF 2 microsteps per step of 1.8deg = 0.9 deg
ON  ON  8 microsteps per step of 1.8deg = 0.25deg (default)
OFF ON  16 microsteps per step of 1.8deg = 0.125deg

K3    K4
OFF OFF   0% decay
ON OFF    25% decay
OFF ON    50% decay (default)
ON ON     100% decay

Hi guys!
I bought a new controller.
I changed it and all works perfect. The noisy sound disappeared and now I can calibrate x axis.
Thank you for all your help.
Probably I will be here with some other questions.

Best Regards
Janis

PS
My Chinese seller answered me after couple days. He was in Chinese New Years vacation. He refunded me a new controllers price.

Janciks:
Thank you to Reuelt for all this explanation  ;)

reuelt:
What is model of your new controller?
I wish to know which is good and which is bad for future ref.
Thanks

katipo:
My X axis has gone the motor is ok so it seems to be the controller unit and yes it came from China, could anyone advise of a good controller and possibly an address.
Thank You
