Keling 5056 driver setup

[alexccmeister]

Hi all,

Finally got my 5056 drivers tested with my 497 oz.in stepper motors. They worked great. Now its on to getting all the parts installed in a controller box. Will update as I go along.

Hi all,

Here are some pics I took of my cnc controller. I am placing everything in a pc case which I got real cheap (US$23). I have to plan where to put everything inside the box and once thats done, I will screw them all down and connect all the wires. Will post more pics as I go along.

I have read good things about keling and their drivers, I will be watching this thread!!

Latest update.
I have screwed down most of the parts. 80% wired up. The wiring isn't color coded so I had to be extra careful not to wire up wrongly. Else its a puff of smoke.

Here are some pics.

Hi all,

My cnc controller box is all done up and tested. Everything working as it should be. I just need to connect the motor to the mill and I should be good for cutting parts. Unfortunately my mill isn't here yet, so here is a few pics on my controller setup.

Imagine, 3 months ago i was asking myself can I do this. Now I can say I have arrived. Well at least for the controller I think I have, thanks to everyone who helped. Forum like this is such a blessing to have.

Thanks guys. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it was. Thanks to this wonderful forum.

Do you have 5v or gnd connected to the ena+ port on the 5056? I thought I read in the documentation you don't need it?

Wow, what a revival. Hi Toby, I have since sold off all my stuffs. t has been an enjoyable time learning about CNC. Will I pick it up again? Hmmmm.... maybe not... But it was fun none the less.
