Hello all,

Looking for some help troubleshooting my electronics. I was very careful and took my time wiring everything.

When powering up my motors and drivers, the motor shaft locks up so it will not turn, but when I try to jog with Mach3, the motor will jog (the DRO in mach3 does change).

Here is the system I bought:

Uses a C10 BOB and two 5056D drivers and 8070D driver.

I tried two different computers, and also tried a PCI parallel port board (Rosewill 304). All have the same result, no motor jogging.

Here are pictures of my setup:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

The most common errors are the driver switches incorrectly set and the COM jumper on the c10 needs moved to the 5v position.
If you want to run 1/8 microstepping the switches for the 5056D and the 8070D should be 1-8, off,on,on,off,off,off,on,on.
I zoomed in on your pic and see you have the driver switches set correctly for 1/2 microstepping, that's fine.

Hoss, thanks for the quick reply. Currently the jumper on C10 is set to GND, I will change it to 5V and give it another shot in the morning.

I can see your drivers are powered, but do they have an 'enable' input?
I've only dealt with Geckos, but the ones I have, need to see voltage on the enable pin to come alive. Just a thought.

Looks like it was the 5V com jumper! Motors are running great now! I guess the drivers are already enabled, thanks for the thought gd.marsh.
