    MX4660 troubleshooting

    About one month ago I test drove my steppers with the MX4660, UC100, and Mach 3. I went to do the same exact thing today and the steppers will NOT move. I confirmed with a scope that I have step and direction pulses coming to the DB25 connector on the MX4660, but no motors will move no matter what I do. Does this mean my MX4660 is dead?

    Re: MX4660 troubleshooting

    Ok I fixed it. Apparently I had to put the "charge pump" switch to the ON position. I didn't mess with this switch since I last checked things out, but I think Mach3 was set to enable charge pump remotely, and somehow in Mach3 I turned that off. I can't see anywhere in the software to control that though.
