Hi, After a few electrical problems, finally I implemented your probe project to my machine. I am extremely happy with the use of this tool that I always wanted. I made a small modification to the...

At this point I found no loose connection whatsoever . Trying to narrow down the problem I disconnect the 4 drivers from the breakout board one by one, no solution, disconnect all the wires from...

I'll check for loose connection. I'll let you know. Thanks to both of you!

Yes, the manual mode works fine.

Version R3.042.020 Where should I check to be sure that the noise is present?

Today, I installed the blue screen and the modifications on another machine, a small router and it works as a charm! So, the problem is not on the scripts or the blue screen, the problem is narrow...

Yes, they do.

My system is on Inches.

Hi, You have done a beautiful job! This is something that I always wanted to have on my mill. I followed all your instructions and everything went great! Only I have a problem that probably you will...

Thanks to all of you for your help! I want to apologize on thread 11, I shouldn’t say“ they sent me the wrong board” The board was the right one, but due to my lack of knowledge at that time I...

That's is a solution to this mess. Thank you Mr. John-100. I'll let you know if everything works.

292716It was bought as a four axis controller board and that documentation came with it. It reads “4 axis HobbyCNC PRO Rev1 Chopper Driver Board Kit” I remember the ad was stating that it has the...

Yes the stepper drivers are SLA7051m as you said and the pin 12 is connected to J1 pin 2 to control the half or full steps so the 12 pin in not free to use. Software, Mach3. So I can’t use pin...

That's a good idea but I need some understanding before I do anything. I have a doubt. I found the parallel 12 pin connected to the J1 pin 2. You found the parallel 11 pin connected to the J1 pin 8...

Thank you John-100, I’ll follow your findings and trace the rest of them. Looks like the documentation doesn’t agree with the hardware! The best way to go I think would be traced and wire them out...

Sure, I'll.292496 Here its.

My 4 axix board from Hobbycnc does not have any connector to home and limit pins. My board was bought back behind 2004. I use it without any home or limit switches till now that I upgrade my router....

Thanks, that's probably it! I used normal grease. I'll take it apart and after a good cleaning I'll use that Vactra2. Thanks again.

Thank you Underthetire, which oil would you recomend in this case?

Hi, I have a problem and need some inputs from you guys. My mill (Enco45, 32”X9”) I converted to CNC a few years ago and worked find till now. A few months ago one of my stepper motors’ driver (Y...

These are bipolar stepper motor controllers.

I did it, I bought a couple of Geckos 201x. After I read the manual they have in line I replaced the X and Y axis with the two new drives. Something is note right. I tested the drivers with a small...

Thank you.

This is a two-phase Bipolar motor controller 20-50VDC , 35Khz , Power supply: 3 to 16 amp unregulated, 1.5 to 8.0 amps per phase, Enable, Step, direction Full/Half
I am using this to control a...

One of my Python Digital motor drivers is gone. These drivers were made by “WWW.CNCbyDesign.com that doesn’t exist anymore and I lost one of them. If anyone knows about these motor driver boards...

Hi Mike, Thanks for your time and interest. Here are pics and specs you asked. All I can tell you is that the boards are very simple and has no protection against people like me. I have use this...

Yesterday I make a mistake and burned one of my motor drivers. These are a little old and I need to buy at least one but I can’t find where. These are Cncbydesign Python Digital Mod. B508 Rev. D. I...

Thanks, I'll give it a try using the three axes, it should work. I always thought that in a case of a round object a circular cut would be more precise than the three axes method. It’s a challenge...

Thanks. I'll try that.

Thank you HuFlung and Tweakie for your answers but I wonder what I have to do or buy to be able to cut this medallion, its 5” diameter and ¼” thick. I went to Youtube and watched some cuttings like...
