ok
We are in the middle of several projects, but we could use some help on stepper motor wiring...basic stuff, but we are new at this.
We ended up with a used Isel engraver, and we have no schematics or written work. All we have is the table (built like a tank) and model numbers showing all three motors are steppers. There is no pin out so we are not able to tell what wire goes where. Is there some convention that would enable us to tell what wire does what?
OR
Is there some kind of quick and dirty test that we could do to determine which wire goes where?
There is a possibility that a brake is involved, and each axis also has limit swithes built in. I think we can figure those out, but how about a little help on the rest?
We are in the process of getting some info from Isel, but could use any info others might have, just in case we strike out there.
Once this is up and running, and once we start our router/plasma table, (soon as next week) we may have this engraver system up for sale. It has an engraving area of 19.5 X 21 inches and has a Proxxon variable speed engraver with it. For now, we just need something to work with while we finish the mill and start the router.
any help would be appreciated
