No X axis movement- how to troubleshoot?

[WayneC]

I'm having some problems with a Gecko driver, and in the process of horsing around inside my controller I may have caused more problems.

Right now, I need to know how to troubleshoot Mach 3 outputs to be sure that my control box is getting step and direction voltages at the control box input. As I look at the settings in Mach 3, I don't think they are changed and they seem to be correct. Mach seems to be running the X axis when I jog, showing motion on the DROs. But the controller won't move the motors.

In the controller, the fuses are OK, and the Geckos have power LEDs on. The Y and Z axis are OK. Just the X axis is not working.

If I can determine that Mach3 is sending the correct voltages, I can start looking in the control box.

Thanks for any help.

in your port address settings you have three boxes in the far right box theres a chech mark get rid of the check mark it should work i had the same problem took me a month to figure out

Measure the X dir pin voltage while jogging back and forth. It should toggle between 0V and 5V, depending on direction.
