Since building my 3 axis machine I cannot configure the Mach 3 software. I followed the setting provided by the supplier and I have tried every pin/dir/enable/disable setting know to man and the best I can get is a grunt out of the Z motor when I activate the X motor.
I tried shielded cables, and reinstalled the software.
The frustrating part is that I don't know if it is software or hardware. I hooked up an old printer and it grabbed the paper and made the right noises although the ink had dried up a decade ago, but it looked like it wanted to print.
Can anybody tell me how to test for software or hardware please?
A screenshot of the diagnostic window would be good too because I don't know which lights should be on or off.
I have a Toshiba TB6560AHQ chipset with Nema 23 57BYGH56-401A Stepper Motors, and a 24v power supply. I don't have any estops or limit switches attached.
Thanks

Maybe post some pictures of all your gear and something might pop up.
hard to guess when we dont know what your using, mach settings/controller card/drivers/pc/ might help abit.

cheers

Jog back and forth and measure the voltage on the direction pins. You should get 5V in one direction, and 0V in the other.
