well its been a long 2 weeks i have made some ground. i have x and y axis motors installed on machine and did some testing today. I have been thru countless videos and read as much viable info i can find, i have went thru the wiring 3 times and every thing finally appears correct. I have unplugged the z axis stepper driver and the x and y axis seem to be responding correctly finally, until they don't again. i am using the hot keys left right and up down. 90% of the time up down will move y axis back and forth and right arrow moves x access, however the left key the motor doesnt respond. From time to time that key works properly and sometimes the other keys all work correctly and sometimes 1 or 2 work correctly. typically when the malfunction happens 2 key will make the y axis move the same direction and the other 2 keys move the x in 1 direction. How can this happen how can they work properly then not. its like operating a tractor with a bucket raise lower tilt up down work fine then raise bucket meow tilts bucket and tilt bucket meow lowers bucket on each lever and the other way dont do anything. I have tried a dxf file and its tough to tell but seems like its following the coordinates properly.
thus i am not sure where my problem lays in the wiring (which i doubt), the breakout board, or mach3 program. the breakout board is cnc4pc - c10 - parallel port and the only identification on the motors is 60bhh100501e25s with 4 coils set up in series. believe most of the parts come from china. any help would be appreciated
