Cant get motors to move

[dheintz4]

Hey All,

I have been observing this site for a little while and have been building a kit from buildyourcnc.com. The blacktoe 2.0!

Anyhow, I got it all done and hooked up the electronics and setup mach 3 according the the kelinginc.net site and can not get my motors to do anything.

When I plug in the power the motors lock and you can clearly hear that but I still cant get them to move.

I have 4 382oz/in NEMA 23 motors from kelinginc KL23H2100-30-4B, 4 Keling 4030 drivers, 1 36v power supply and 1 keling c10 bi directional breakout board.

I have tested mach 3 on 2 computers with built in parallel port and still nothing. The parallel chord I got is an IEEE-1284 DB25 M/M Parallel Cable from cablestogo.com so I hope this isnt the cause for all this??

So, I am racking my brain trying to figure this out and decided to ask the experts on this one. ANY HELP AT ALL WOULD BE AWESOME! Attached are some pictures of my drivers, breakout board, and power supply. Don't laugh too hard at the wiring, im going to clean it up once I get it going.

Also a side not, all wiring for power and drivers was solid 18 gauge wiring and I used 22 gauge stranded for the motors, which is what is coming out of the motors, so I figured this would be ok?? If not that may be an issue too??

Thanks so much!

you seem to be missing 5V on EN pin on break out board and make sure you got 5V to CW+ and CP+ on drivers

and of course make sure your mach3 settings are right



Edit: just looked closer on pictures, seems you used one wire for all 5v signals, i would say thats bad idea, i would run separate wires from source to each drive

I will try these things and see what happens. I didnt think I had to get 5V to EN pin on breakout because of the 5V in slot next to it? Maybe im wrong on this, just wondering?

Thanks for the input, I will try it and see what happens.

giving 5v to EN pin is like saying "ok, get ready boys, time to start moving motors" otherwise its no-go

You were right, it was the 5v on en port. thanks again man, everything works like a charm now..

no problem, just got to make sure to follow wiring guide/diagram and only start cutting away things when you sure aren't necessary
