Hello I have just bought a StepmasterNC SOP-2B 4 axis controller and 4 Sonceboz 4 wire Bipolar Stepper motors. It came with the free version of Mach 2.
I don't intend to build a CNC Machine just yet but merely want to be able to move any or all 4 motors.
I connected the motors to the controller correctly ( I think)
I loaded the software into my computer which has XP Pro and done the test all was well.
All I would like to do now is to just make the motors move.
I read the .pdf help file (the relevant parts) but couldn't get it to do anything.
I realize that this is basic stuff but I gotta start somewhere !
If anyone is willing to help I would be delighted.
