    tb6560 help me!!!!!!!!

    Hello, I bought a tb6560 5 axis driver board. I use mach 3 sw for driving the step motors, but I have a problem : when I start mach 3 the holding torque about step motors go down and the step motors don't run, infact the 5 led about the axis segnals aren't bright. I set the pins following the driver boards instruction. When I go to see the active pins on mach 3 there are no output pin switch on. I think that the setting pins write in the instruction aren't ok. what do you know?

    The pins are:
    X ENALBED14 STEP 16 DIR4
    Y ENABLED14 STEP 1 DIR17
    Z ENBALED14 STEP 7 DIR3

    THANKS VERY MUCH
    SORRY IF MY ENGLISH IS POOR

    When i start up Mach 3 the light go dim too. The reason my motors wouldn't run was because each axis needs to be enabled.

    Go to "Config"
    "Pots and Pins"
    "Output Signals" Tab
    And tick Enable 1-5.

    I just left the numbers default. They don't tie up with the motor pins at all.
