Hi guys,

Thanks for helping me !!

negativ3 -> My PP port is a aux card through PCIe slot. http://www.amazon.ca/Startech-Com-Express-Parallel-Card-Spp-PEX1P
I am reading 3.3V at logic 1 and 11.2mV at logic 0.


I found the C10 (my BOB) manual. You can check it here : http://cnc4pc.com/Tech_Docs/C10R10_USER_MANUAL.pdf
Page 2, in SPECIFICATIONS it is said

"On-State voltage range 2 to 5V DC" I have 3.3 so it is good !!
"Max Off-Stage voltage 0.8V" I have 1.12V !! So ... PROBLEM !!

Am i correct ?
If yes, how can i do to decrease it ??

Your off voltage is 11.2mV = 0.0112V, well below 0.8V.

The voltages are good for the PP card you have got.

Of course, You are right. 11.2mV = 0.0112V !!

I head into the problem to much. I can't even realize mi BIG mistakes !!

So My PP port works well. Do you know how i have to configur Mach3 and My C10 BOB ?

Here is My configuration :

C10
-----
Jumper "com" set to 2-3 (5v)
Jumper "pin 2-9" set to 1-2 (Pull-down)
Jumper "In-Out" set to 1-2 (Out)

I have a 5v 1000mA pluged into Gnd/5v/EN pins

I have a E-Stop pluged into pin 10 and 5V (This one works well. it was detected automatically in Mach3.


KL-4030
--------
(for X) pluged into pin 2, com and 3. (pin2->Pul- pin3->Dir- Pin Com->Dir+ & Pul+
ENA+ and ENA- are not pluged.

VCC pluged to 36V.


Motors
-------
23H286-20-8B
Connected in bipolar parallel
Blue/white and Red/white to A+
Blue and Red to A-
Black/white and Green/white to B+
Green and Black to B-

Kl-4030 switches : 1 Down, 2 Down, 3 Up, 4 Down, 5 Up, 6 Up, 7 Down, 8 Down
So it should be : Microstep = 1/8 and current 2.7A


Mach3
-------
Port & Pin / Motor outputs :

X : enabled / Step Pin#2 / Dir Pin#3 / Dir low Disabled / Step Low Disabled / Step port 1/ Dir port 1.




I Press "reset" to get out emergency mode and try to move my X motor with left and right arrows. The value change but the motor does not turn.

The motor is free to turn when the system is OFF and is "blocked" when it is ON. It means the driver (KL4030) works.

So ... What is wrong ??

Thanks

Take a look here... similar issue?

IT WORKS !!!!

X, Y, Z !!! (not A tested yet)

Thanks Al
Thanks negativ3.
Thanks RFB

I checked the pdf "mach3 setup" and my config is the same. but i did not check the Sherline 1/2 puls mode.
I tried with it but ... nothing !!
I turned it off and then i tried for the 10th time to change the Axis conf in Mach3.
I changed the pin for X (in M3 and on the BOB) : nothing.
I tried to configure pin 2-9 as input on the BOB to test them with the E-Stop automatic detection but ... nothing.

I decided to put things straight once more and then it works !!!
I do not know why !!

Maybe i forgot something !!!


Anyway .... it works now !!

Thanks all for your help !!

Hi everyone.

Juste the last post of this topic to show my config.

Anyone is in the same situation, et he will find my config and can try it !!

First my wiring C10, kl-4030 and motors :


Then my Mach3 configuration :









Thats it !

Thanks guys one more.

nicotom,

I'm glad to hear that you were able to make it work. Persistence is the conqueror of all troublesome tasks. Now have some fun.

hi i think im having the same issue but i tried the settings you listed and still cant get it to work. my motors get warm and have holding torque but won't move. any suggestions?

[nicotom]

Hi,

Did you check if your PPort adress is correct ?

Then, did you check the voltage on your PPort like in the vidéo ?

Do you have correct voltage ?

[matterest]

i have app. 3.3volts on all pins, im thinkingthe issue is with my psu its a 12v atx
