The servos are still showing a flickering green light so I'm guessing they are getting at least SOME of what they want. The DRO's advance with arrow key and or flyout buttons. I have the HLFB connections for the Y connected positive to the to the the Y105 and the neg to 0v.
The Enable neg wire is on Y301 and the positive is on 24v.
The Emergency button is normally closed and positive to Y104 and negative on 0v.
And both the positive Step and Dir wires are on a 24v and the Step and Dir neg wires are on the proper Y axis negs on the UB1.
The only real oddity I can think of is that I went ahead and solder bridged the Y104,105,106, and 107 to set up for the limits switches, so after hooking the emergency stop to Y103 (the I/O is set at Y102), and the Y HLFB positive to Y105, I jumpered the others to make the safety circuit continuous through 107 without actually hooking up the switches (which I don't have yet).
I took a couple of screenshots to expose my weak and frustrated underbelly.
