    first CNC project-trying to get motor control working with MACH3 software-NEED HELP

    hi guys
    this is my first post, so hi everyone
    i have been very interested in cnc machines for some time now
    after i have seen a YOUTUBE video of the wonders this machine can do
    so i have decided to build myself 1

    i have gather all the electrical parts (stepper motors, motor control circuit board, MACH3 software)...etc

    Stepper motors: SHINANO KENSHI STP-58D311-01, 1.8DEG/STEP24v, no.23212g

    motor control circuit board: 4 Axis CNC Stepper Motor Driver Board Controller TB6560

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/4-Axis-CNC-St...item2a03d849fb

    PSU : 24v, 2.5a



    so now i am put them all together and trying to get the motor running from MACH3

    however i have incured a problem there seems to be no motor movements
    the circuit board lights up and all, but the little fan on the heatsink on the circuit board doesnt seem to run it keeps on shaking back and forth
    i try configuring the mach3 sofware pins and ports but nothing seems to work
    plus im not too sure wether i have properly wired my stepper motors to the circuit board

    i have try to find schematics of the stepper motors but i cannot find it, i have even email the company like 3months ago but so far no answer

    so if anybody can help me i really appreciate it

    thanks a lot in ADVANCE

    psp_ngheo,

    You have the motor incorrectly wired.

    Connect Brown to A+

    Connect Orange to A-

    Connect Red to B+

    Connect Yellow to B-

    White N/C
    Black N/C

    I want to build NC machine myself this page will be interesting.
    The best way to learn is trial error.
