Hello,
there is one thing I would like to try but I am not sure how to properly do it, I would like to operate the board manually without the pc and parralel cable to make sure it is not a pc issue.
This is what I assumed so far, correct me if I am wrong.
1) If i put 5v on the Enable pin on the db25 connector the motor should lock, if it not the case there might be a problem in the circuit, to confirm this I could bypass the optocoupler by giving 5v to the Enable Pin on the TB6560 chip itself, if the motor lock up with 5v on the chip this mean I have an issue somewhere in the enable circuit.
2) the second thing i'd like to check is the motor direction and step, but I am not sure wich pin need to be shorted and how, What I am assuming is if I short pin1 and the Step pin the motor should start spinning and if I short pin 1 and the Dir Pin the motor should change direction, is that right ?
for pinout you can refer to my previous post on mach3 config.
Best Regards,
