    Re: My second build,, all in steel from Cuba

    Hello

    Today my router begin to move
    Steppers are working fine and movement is smooth.

    Set Drivers 1/8 microstep
    Drivers 2.7 A
    Full Current

    Speed for test 60 IPM.


    I have this problem.


    C10 BREAKOUT BOARD LED remains ON
    when I turn OFF controller, If I deconnect
    the paralell cable then Led comes OFF.

    c37 Single Relay Board has the Power LED and the
    Activation LED.

    When controller and PC are Off then
    Power led too is ON and
    Activation LED is OFF

    WHEN Controller is ON, then this leds gets brighter.

    When I start PC , during the procces of WINDOws
    charge, the Activation LED gets ON and I have 110volts
    in Spindle. and when I open MACH 3, Activation LED
    gets OFF.


    How can I fix this?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Fixed the problem
    It was a bad connection of GND of C37 Relay. I was taking from negative wire of 5 volts PS. Now is connected to GND in C10 Breakout board.
    Spindle star and stops perfectly.

    Dry run of the machine X Axis 150 IPM work fine
    Tomorrow I will test Y axis.
