Author Topic: Anyone running CandCNC's PlazPak1A along with the MPG101B Pendant  (Read 4563 times)

I am a complete newby to CNC.   

Looking for some help to get going with my table.   I have everything set up, have installed mach3, Run in Candcnc support CD.  I have had everything  on & can get movement on the DRO(s)

I need a bit of help calculating steps for my motors & tuning them.

I have not been able at this point to get any movement from the stepper motors.  I don't know what I am missing.     My home & limit switches all seem to be wired & functioning properly.  I have no LED lit on the table I/O card indicating a problem there.

I must admit, even after reading the manuals repeatedly, I don't know what question(s) to ask.

hello, I am new as well, just setting thing up

I am running the CandCNC system with pendant
have got my motors working but have not connected  the pendant yet
you need to set the pins in the config part for the motors for it to work
set them to
x step pin 2
x dir pin 3
y step pin 4
y dir pin 5
z step pin 6
z dir pin 7
a step pin 8
a dir pin 9

that should get you going

I am having other problems but will see if I can find the fix

I am up & running as of now. I have ironed out most of my issues.  Right now I am setup with Oxy/Fuel but will be adding plasma once I have everything else going.   Although I haven't cut but a very few test pieces, Everything seems to be working pretty good.   I will probably take the plunge next week on an order that will consume (2) 4' X 8' sheets of 3/8" & (1) sheet of 1/2"
