    SM44PCV5 new controller board not working, need help!!

    Hi all,

    I have recently had to change my controller board SM44PCV5, due to a driver that burnt, and bought the same model. I use it to move a scara robotic arm, with mach3.
    But somehow, while with the ancient card, I could make my machine move, with the new card I can't...And I don't have a clue why. The machine does make a noise (clak, clak), but doesn't move. I haven't changed the parameters nor the wiring.

    Any ideas why it worked with the older card and not the new one? :-(
    Does it have something to do with the jumpers? Or do you think it's mach3 related?

    Thanks for any help!!

    Wouldn't that be a customer support question to the people who sold you the driver? When I sell a driver, I support my customers.
