Need help with manual pulse generator

[Al_The_Man]

The voltage looks fine.
If you have a PC that runs DOS you could use this software to test them, I have input directly into the PP without the buffers shown with no problem.

Thanks for all of the help, guys.

I have it working. The pattern from the Wiki file is exactly how the Leds pulsed.

The problem is either the "Mach Brains or the C-22 card"

The pendant cable checks continuity on each wire, from pendant to db 25 connector.

I took an old printer cable and spliced in to it for the A & B connection.

Then ran wires directly from the USB connector 5+volt supply plug to the Hedds encoder.

After configuring Mach " Port & pins", it will jog either direction on any axis.


It's no bother to go to the keyboard to change axis. The MPG with a long cord, and an mobile E-stop is all I wanted anyway.

Maybe later I'll set up some hot key buttons on the pendant to change axis, etc.

Here is a couple of quick phone pics of my hillbilly hook-up:
