I got a 24V power supply installed and everything wired but I can not get the motors to turn! They are powered and the motors stall but I can't get them to move.
I used the pin settings as in the Mechatronics pdf (2StepX3DirX,4StepY5DirY,6StepZ7DirZ) but it seems as if the motors are not getting the signal from Mach3. I am only using 3 axis so there are only 3 motors connected. Am I missing something with settings? I am not using any limits yet as I need to get some more limit switches but did not think that should interfere with the movement of the axis? I used a gender changer in order to connect the parallel cable but it seems that should be a straight through connector. Maybe I could check the voltage received at the motor wires when Mach sends a signal to move to see if it is getting through the controller board to the motors? Thanks again for any help!
