Hi All,
Can anyone help.
I don't know if this is the right forum. I am rewiring a gantry router and have a multitude of problems.
Originally the router was wired using 2 Gecko 320 on 2 DC servos and one gecko 201 for a stepper on the Z. Mach 2 was upgraded to Mach 3 and some errattic things happened ocasionally with limits and homing. Advice was to use a breakout, so I purchased a CNC4PC C11G multi function board.
Taking a step at a time. I installed the recommended XML for the board.
I then passed the Parallel port outputs thru the board and to the Geckos step and direction connections,powered the board with the recommended 5 volts. jumpered the 5v to the EN. Turned off the Charge pump on the board and in Mach3. I adjusted Mach3 settings for the correct motor outputs.
Nothing else was changed.
Results. Not all the port LEDs light up on the BB.
The stepper moves but only in one direction regardless of which key (up or down) is pressed.
The servos do Nothing. The dro's in mach work OK.
I am by no means an expert, this is my first encounter with a BoB.
I have built from scratch my own router using steppers and Hobby CNC and mach and have had no problems for 18 months. I thought I knew what I was doing??:drowning::drowning:

Know what I am doing, What I don't Know is what I am not doing ????

Thanks in advance
