  1. Re: Need to work out voltage for unknown stepper motors

    Jim27

    .


    I was referring to the fact that the TB6560 accepts 12-36 volts
    for the motors power input.
  2. Re: Need to work out voltage for unknown stepper motors

    justinj

    Ohm's law will tell you what the motors are rated at.
    Amps is the important thing.
    The driver is what limits the voltage you use.

    Re: How to get my 5v relay to turn on and on

    SKLCNC55



    Go into Configuration / Ports and pins /Spindle setup
    Make sure that you don't have the relays disabled.

    Happy holidays

  4. Re: This should not be difficult - Why is my circle so big?

    Why are you using 3 arcs, instead of a circle.?

    Make the following changes.

    Line N70 - Add G00, to this line.
    Line N80 - Add G00, to this line.
    Line N100 - Delete this line.
