Honestly i think it is the way the language is used in Mach4 that winds me up. For example the developers seem unable to to use a Boolean (True, False), which is the buidling block of even the most...

That said, it was a strange choice of language to use and NOT the best by far. Not quite as bad as Python, but a close second.

The manual is written in pigeon English (at best) and doesn't explain what the two items are. I think it expects you to already know.

thanks for the info

I see - thank you for the clarification (everyone).

Out of interest, do you know what do the "Numerator/Denominator of pulse frequency" and the "Numerator/Denominator of pulse frequency division"...

I don't understand... CNCnan said "Year the electronic gearing always needs to be checked in the drivers and there are four parameters for that function in two different areas depending on the mode...

Oh... could you tell me more about this please. I cannot seem to find anything in the manual. Perhaps the torque settings??

Its a metalwork machine. Not interested in speed, highest torque...

OK massive progress. No matter what I did the movement was 10x what it should have been. So I looked at Denominator of pulse frequency division Param [2 6]. The factory setting was 10,000 and for...

Hi Russ - again thanks for the post.

All paramaters set as you suggested, but if I put 5000 steps per in the motor tuning on Mach4... for every millimeter I set the axis to move it moves 12.37mm....

Thank you - the X and Y axis run on a 1 to 2 ratio. 20 teeth on the servo spindle gear and 40 teeth on the axis gear.

I'll get on with wiring the other two drives now i know I can actually get...

Update - I have movement!!! Yay!

It seems the Parameter [2 9] wasnt sticking... managed to get it set and now it moves.

However if you would mind castig you eyes over the parameters to see if...

Hi Russ, many thanks for the reply.

I am using an MB3 break out board here https://cncroom.com/wp-content/uploads/downloads/MB3-Owner-Manual-E20R2.pdf

Under the specifications it states ...

OK so got 3 of these on a Denford Triac. Trying to get them running (nearly there) but the manual is driving me insane.
In this picture (from the manual)... These are my first servos.

I have...

I was saying that I wired up relays the same way on simplere BoBs as the limit switches :drowning:

I have many relays and the board only provides 3. So I was asking how to control external relays...

Thanks, this helped a lot - I have set up simpler BoBs before but the MB3 has a few foreign concepts for me.

I am trying to control basic relays with the MB3 and usually I would have done it the...

Hi guys, would you mind sending me a copy of the software please? I have an EZ Path S

Thanks

Hi, I have an Bridgeport EZ Path S - apart from a burn't out motherboard that I replaced 4 years ago it has been working great. However yesterday it suddenly stopped and gave the error Axis Drive...
