Almost there sir but one thing for sure though, once you are skillful enough on that machine, you will start eliminating things hehe, like limit switches? nah I dont need them, front spindle cover of the ball screws, you will take that out if it starts giving you problems of being stuck, stepper motor harness you will change that if you want optimum torque on it, spindle control over MACH 3 ---Manual mode hehehe, once you start tweaking it to it`s optimum movement speed the starting rotation of the spindle will get left behind because the movement of the XYZ are now quick enough to nose dive your bit on the material being machined sure thing you can manipulate it thru the codes though but with a time limit pressures you, you will start optimizing even the codes itself hahaha

KH0UJ: Im getting better! today i made a dust cover for my cnc so that it can hook to vacuum. no more dust everywhere hopefully. Can not test it till tomorrow though! I sent you a message on hangouts, did you get it? Anyhow,. i could not have gotten this far without your help!

TheDealer: Turn on your VFD menu and go into the FUNC menu. Go to D001 and set it to m1, then D032 and set it to 1 or zero for computer control or box control respectively. Make sure you turn d001 back to 0 when done. Does that help you at all?
I still never got mine working on the PC. I kinda like manual but wish i had an option. I had it working on PC control once but that box went bad, so i had to get a new one and now i ant get it to work without throwing an error. It just ramps straight to max, and if i try to change anything it ramps to roughly 3/4th till i shut it down. But ya, send me those files. What are they meant to do?

[KH0UJ]

Oh, if you pm me, I can send you the files that the manufacturer sent me. The spindle settings are different than what yours say.

The Dealer had your MACH3MILL config sir, that will solve all your problems then you can safely say Looking for assistance with..."TOTALLY SOLVED" hehehe

Just for the record, this connector does not fit the TX14175 Parallel board. Ordered the connector and it doesn't work because the board has a 2.54mm pitch on the connectors. I'm still in search for the correct one.
Thanks

[RickPerry]

good to see your making progress

I have had a quick look at connectors from Mouser

this could be the connector you need for your limit switches


440129-5 TE Connectivity | Mouser United Kingdom

if thats correct , the PCB plug on the breakout board wiil be this one

Just found the correct one but it's bundled in a large set that I found on Robotics websites.
You can search for 5 pin JST connector with 2.54mm pitch. Also found a 40 pc kit on Ebay for $7.36 and free shipping.


Thanks

thats the problem working from a photo instead of having hold of the PCB
its hard work out just how large the connectors are

Just in case someone is looking for plugs for the TX14175 board I found combo boxes all over ebay. I got a 40 count box of JST connectors with a 2.54 Pitch for $7.36 and free shipping. I only needed one connector to connect my limit switches but for the time and trouble this was a bargain. In the kit there are connectors that fit everything on the board. Here is a pic for everyone. Hope this helps!
