Controller Seems to be working - Wont Jog

[emtffkev]

I've built the controller board. The 5v is checking fine, the vref on
the x,y, and z are all set to where they need to be.

When I power up the controller the steppers hiss and lock like they
should.

In mach3 I have set all the pinouts to the appropriate ones for this
controller. When I attempt to Jog the motors don't do anything. They
stay locked and hiss at me. No movement at all. I have decreased the
velocity and acceleration to 40 and 1 respectively. I've kept the 2000
steps per default setting for now. Any suggestions as to what may be
going wrong. I'm not 100% satisfied I'm even getting the signal from
the computer to the controller. I do have the proper cable I know, but
not sure if something may be set up wrong with the port itself?

Thanks a bunch,
-Kevin

Hi Kevin

Have you had an answer to your question? I am having basically the same problem. It's very frustrating!

Thanks

When you press the jog keys, do the DRO's change? If not, then the jog keys are not assigned. You can fix that with Config>Hotkeys.

If the DRO's do move, and nothing happens when you try to jog, then you most likely have one or more of the following issues.

Bad cable

Incorrect port address

Incorrect port # assigned to the pins.

I agree with Gerry.

The motors are locked because the power is ON.

The motors don't move because they are not recieving signals from the computer.
