Oky, well i bought my Candcnc MP 3000 DTHC controller about 5 months ago. And last week i started to hook everything up. Well to start of the gecko drive led lights up and have power to the drives and motors. I hooked up all the 25 pin out cords to the cards and then to my pc . Load all my candcnc files to the pc the new screens come on to mach 3. So then i power up the power supply to my motors and try to turn the motors through mach 3 and well nothing. I check my ports and pins setting and everything seems to be set right . But still no motor movement
So the next step i try is to see if i can get mach3 to communicate with e stop or limit trip off the control board so i short out the 2 limit tabs and the limit light on the board goes on, but mach 3 doesn't show anything ??? i check the ports and pins settings and i set it for port 1 pin 11 but still nothing.
So so far the problem seems that mach3 doesn't have any communication with the controller and Mp 3000
The only thing i can think of is when reading trough the candcnc mp 3000 manual they talk about hooking up a power adapter that supply's the mp 3000 with a 5 v and 12 v dc power but that was never shipped when i bought my total package so Im kinda confused why i cant get no communication
Here is a link to my mp 300 package manual http://www.candcnc.com/PDF/MP3000EManul-REV3.pdf
I am very confused and any help would be much appreciated Thanks
