Thanks Alot for posting a fix, it really is nice to have this forum I would likely have ripped all my hair out like Homer having kids in the Simpsons. I will have a go with the new software to see if...
sorry I did get it to move and I can get it to spin very fast, I think I now have it figured out at least the part where I test the steppers, I need to go put them onto the machine and hopefully I...
well I feel stupid, I had been changing the x axis (which is not hooked up) and watching the Z axis waiting for changes to happen. SMH. lol
any idea where I should start? I thought I was good with electronics but I think its just the buying parts part.
Changing the values does NOTHING so im at a loss yet again.
yea that is the version I could not get going, now im on 3.042.020 and am able to get the motor to turn but its SOOOOO slow I think it should be faster, it moves about 4 RPM and doesnt change when I...
would anyone out there be able to help me setup the motor tuning in MACH 3 for this driver and stepper motor combo. I do not know where to startÉ
THANKS alot for the help everyone I really appreciate it, I will probably be starting another thread for motor tuning so you haven`t seen the last of me.
YAY!!!! i got it to work! if only I had of tried the older version sooner.
Mach3Version3.042.020 is the oldest one I could find and it did not freeze up after exiting the menu. looks like im on to something but dont go away just yet knowing my luck.
installed Mach3 Version 3.043.066. and plugin for ss, still the same issue.
Mach3 Version 3.043.062 as recommended on the cncrouterparts website, I can try the latest version right now and get back to you in a minute.
I will try grounding it this morning, The cable im using to connect the ss came with my rogers modem, It says PATCH cable on the side Ive just replaced it with a brand new one. My computer has a...
Could it be a grounding Issue? I have the smoothstepper bolted to a piece of wood along with the rest of the components I did this for testing.
200 dollar paper weight if you ask me.
Just did again for about the third time, It still hangs after exiting the ports and pins config but only when it has been connected to the smoothstepper. powered down the ess and it worked and didn't...
I really wish it was easy for me to get going, I probably would have never built a 5000 dollar cnc if I knew it would be this hard to get running. My OS is 64 bit because I have 16gbs of ram and it...
Im using the "ETHERNET" version which has no jumper for switching from usb power to external 5v
I am not using the USB version. getting ready to put this back on the shelf for another three years, im in over my head on this one, fresh windows install, new drivers, following directions correctly...
the bootP jumper? its open like it came from the factory, and I do get the lights showing im connected to MACH but it will freeze and lose connection. Im not using the USB version just to clarify.
...
Still freezes up after exiting ports and pins even with the breakout board not attached.
I do see the smoothstepper in the plugin controls and I do have a dedicated 5v power supply hooked up to the board, and I will try disconnecting the board for a moment and see where that gets me but...
I also need to note that I do not have the jumpers placed on the pins beside port 1 and 2 as described in the instructions here http://cnc4pc.com/Tech_Docs/JINAN2ESS.pdf Im nervous to hook them up I...
also I am using A c25 breakout board from CNC4PC and hooked up the stepper motors with these instructions http://cnc4pc.com/Tech_Docs/JINAN2ESS.pdf I am not sure what I am missing, could it be that...
I made sure to not install the parallel port multiples times, Ive reinstalled windows 7 on my machine and then proceeded to install mach 3 with the smooth stepper drivers as per the instructions on...
I need some help with setting up my ethernet smoothstepper, I cannot get it to control anything without freezing up mach 3, I dont even know where to start I just want to finish my CNC machine I...
