Cant get steppers to turn | | I have mach3 (demo) running three gecko 202 drivers powering 2 640oz and 1 1200oz steppers. Mach3 is loaded onto a new dell running a celeron D processor. I have a belkin data cable running from the comp to the control box breakout board (from cnc4pc).
In my control box I have a 60v power supply for the drivers and a seperate 5v power supply for the common on the geckos and the breakout board.
On the breakout board I have stepX on pin2, dirX on pin 3, stepY on pin 4, dirY on pin 5, stepZ on pin 6, and dirZ on pin 7. All of those wires lead to their corresponding positions on the geckos.
In the mach software I have the pins and ports correct. I have the x and y steppers on active low and the z on active high just to see if I can get it to run any motor. Mach seems to work great on my computer and I did the driver test and it had no spikes in the line at all.
I have tried playing with every setting I possible can and I can not get these motors to spin? Is there a way to tell if the geckos are working properly? I have double checked the wiring about 100x and I cant see what the problem is but I cant get the motors working? Is there and tricks I can try to even make sure the motors work?
Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated, Vince |
