Re: BREAK OUT BOARD HELP
Just looking at your photo of the BOB I can not read all the labels but
I can make out you have the 12 outputs ( pins 1 to 9 + pin 14 + pins 16 & 17 )
the question is how many axis do you need ?
you can use all 12 outputs to drive 6 axis but you will then not be able to control the 3 relays !
if you only control 4 axis you will have outputs to control other things
you will have 3 pins available to control the relays -
the BOB has 3 jumpers you need fitted when using the relays -
the jumpers should be lablled to indicate which pin controls each relay
and a 4th pin to control the spindle speed , if the BOB has a PWM to analogue converter
you should have 5 input terminals labelled pins 10 to 13 +15 or possibly IN1 to IN5 !
to connect your E-stop switch and home / limit switches
so far I have not found any instructions on line

Thanks for the reply.
I don’t have the part I front of me, but in order to hVe control of the 4th axis, it appears I need to purchase one more KL step controller or whatever it’s called?

Re: BREAK OUT BOARD HELP
Just wondering what picture would help?
I’m back in school Tuesday and can reload one for you.
But you have to understand, I don’t speak this language so it’ll be more like...”get a red wire... connect it here,,,, and so on and so on.
Thanks again

Re: BREAK OUT BOARD HELP
The other thing I thought of, if I called you and maybe did a Face Time, or just sent you pics via text and we could talk.
I’m in Pennsylvania at St. Gabriel’s Hall.
It’s a school for delinquent, troubled youth that are court ordered up to 24 months.
I’m trying to start a STEM program to show you can make great money by NOT-selling dope.
Eastern Time.

Hi robwiacek
how did you know how to wire the unipolar motors to the bipolar stepper motor drivers ?
did you have a data sheet for the motor to know which 3 wires goes to each coil ?
high resolution photos of the labels next to the BOB's terminals or a link to the data sheet will help

Re: BREAK OUT BOARD HELP
I do, I looked up the diagrams on Anaheim Automation (I think)
I’d like to send you a pic of the actual wiring on the units

Re: BREAK OUT BOARD HELP
I’m using Mach 3. Does that help?

Re: BREAK OUT BOARD HELP
It might help a Mach 3 user to tell you what needs to happen.It doesn't help me because I don't use Mach 3-I don't expect there is a huge amount of difference in principle.You need to assign functions to the P1 to P17 connections that can be made to operate by the stream of 0's and 1's coming down the cable.Isn't there a Mach 3 sub forum here somewhere?

Re: BREAK OUT BOARD HELP
Good idea, I’ll check it out.
You’re right though.... it’s all the same language after a bit of translation.

Re: BREAK OUT BOARD HELP
I don’t know why the smaller power is there. Maybe for the limit switches?
I put together these parts under direction of another gentleman on these forums.
Can’t seem to reach him.
I’ll get a picture of the bottom of the board on Tuesday.
It’s at school and we are closed!
Thanks for the reply.

Re: BREAK OUT BOARD HELP
This looks great!
I hope I understand what wire goes where.
That’s really how it has to be for me.
Dummy down.
I hope I can follow it.
AADD will kick in then I’ll move on to something else.
