Many thanx to the community.
Final I built my first CNC with all the info from this site. It is still not up-to the mark but at least I built something. :-)
The details of the machine are as follow (just to give you some idea).
- 2 stepper for X-axes
- 1 stepper for y-axes
- 1 stepper for z-axes
- Separate Home switch for each axes but NO Limit switch
- L297/298 based drive controller
Now I'm fighting to configure Mach3 for my machine. Seems it is the hardest part for me! Buddy please help me, I'm having folllowing trouble -
1. Motor is humming after configured in Mach3 but they are moving with jog button
2. Configured all of the Home switches but cannot realize to configure the soft limit (as I don't have physical limit switch)
Appreciate your help.
