Hi Mike,
thanks for the quick reply and recommendation. I really like the look of the screen set layout and think it will save me a lot of time and headaches knowing Sam will help me if I have...

Hello,

I am not sure how to use this forum yet so not even sure I am in the correct area, but was hoping I could get some advice.

I have just purchased an ATC spindle for my CNC router but only...

Forgot to mention that I cut hardwoods, acrylic, aluminium and a lot of marine plywood.

There are so many ways to build a frame, and all I am trying to emphasise is to make the machine as stiff as possible. Having high sides of the gantry needs thick side plates but having high frame...

I don’t like to criticise as everyone has good and bad ideas. It’s just good to learn from others mistakes and research. It took me along time to fix on a design which is similar to yours but I...

I was going to say exactly the same as Wizard. Put as many corner gussets at all angled connections as you can afford. Just the slightest chatter from an unbraced corner will drive you nuts.

Thanks for your reply but I assure you 100% that my motor is 4 pole. Absolutely guaranteed

No problem, please double check your settings with the VFD literature as there maybe some small differences between systems. Ie. how many poles your motor has, working voltage, specified rating...

Rubbish. This is a copy from my own work and setup and works perfectly. I have copied no ones work, especially yours. If you think you know it all, then so be it but don’t knock others that are...

I fully understand your frustration as it took me a long time and a lot of research to get mine set up. Attached is a copy of my setup, assuming you are using a Huanyang VFD. I am using a 220v 2.2kw...

Thanks Jake. I’ll revisit this and see if I have overlooked something.

Hi Jake, I couldn’t get the spindle to run using the RJ45 cable either, no matter what I tried. I just gave up and used the relays to trigger the VFD. Did you get it to work using the RJ45 cable?

Hi Balloon, Thanks for the reply. Yes I have the inputs the same way as you.

I have the Auto Zero script correct (it works perfect on a different BoB) it is just that if i touch the probe with...

Hi Guys,

I have just installed a C62 BoB and Smooth Stepper. Everything is working perfectly (after hours of research and learning) but the one thing that has defeated me so far is the Z Auto...

Hi Guys, Reading your comments seems to be exactly the same issue i am having. I have just installed a C62 BoB and Smooth Stepper. Everything is working perfectly (after hours of research and...

I spent nearly a year researching the best machine vs cost and quickly came to the conclusion NOT to buy a Chinese machine. Your budget of $2000 is way too low to get any kind of machine that you...

Hi TP,

I finally received a new board and returned home after a few months away for business.

Plugged it in and switched it on. E-Stop works. So it was a faulty board.

I have managed to...

Wow, thanks Roger, you are right. it is a big harsh.

I own my own company and we sell product much less expensive than this board and if my customer does not know how to use it (which is also an...

Hi Roger,

Sorry but you have lost me now. I don't know what Pull-Ups means or what a watchdog timer is.

i have 12 Vd.c. connected to the C62 and was told to remove the 5V supply to the ESS as...

Thanks skubajon,

This is the same diagram i have used but i am now sure i have a faulty board.

i just received an email from Arturo from CNC4PC and he asked me to check something which i did...

Hi skubajon,

Thanks for the photo and explanation. i will go and check the label to make sure it is the correct way around.

the diagram for the RJ45 is exactly the same diagram I used being...

Thanks for the reply, would you be able to send me photos or a diagram of some sort as i don't fully understand what you mean.

Regards
Dean

Thanks for the suggestion, i tested as you suggest and find there is no signal in the ESS diagnostics page.

I have even tried with the other inputs on ports 1 and 2 and still nothing. No ticks...

Hi TP,

Do you mean a RJ45 plugin for Mach and the ESS? or do you mean a RJ45 that plugs into the C62 board. If a Mach or ESS Plugin, no, I didn't know there was one or where to get it. If you...

Hi skubajon,

Did you ever get this working as i am having the same problem?

thanks
Dean

Hi TP,

No, there is no indication in the ESS diagnostics when I press the E-Stop. Even if i change pins, there is no indication.

The ESS is piggy backed onto the C62.

Hi TP,

Sorry, it was just a comment when i mentioned the external E-Stop board.

The E-Stop on my C62 does function, the problem i am having is that the signal is not getting back to Mach3 or 4....

Hi TP,

thanks for the diagram. I will study this and compare the jumper settings to what I have.

I notice you are using an external E-Stop module instead of the e-stop connections on the...

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the quick reply. i fully understand what you are saying but would expect them to read my emails to understand the issue i am having and to reply accordingly.

There are...

Hi Roger,
I am in Tweed Heads area.
I received another reply from CNC4PC this morning but we seem to be going round in circles.
I have explained to them many times what the problem is and what i...
