hi, cnc brothers

I'm have a problem with my new build . i can't get my motors to turn , i do hear a high pitch sound coming from them but no movement, the DRO's in mach 3 does move. i'm pretty sure i hooked everything up right.i don't know what else to do. hoping you guys can help me out. i attach a pdf document with my settings ,maybe you guys can see something i'm missing ..thanks

Any help..

Have you wired up the 'enbl +/-' on the drivers (enable) to the bob or left them disconnected?
If you do have it connected you need to set up an enable pin.

I'm guessing you have no physical estop connected correct?

My problem when this happened was with my enable set wrongly to active high.

[rick027]

Thanks dazp for replying, the enbl +/- are not connected and no I don't have a physical e-stop yet

Do you have the Estop connected with a Jumper it won't do anything without it connected

[rick027]

No e-stop just have it on pin 10 and set to active low

[mactec54]

No e-stop just have it on pin 10 and set to active low

It has to be connected at the Breakout Board with a Jumper or a E-Stop switch

[dazp1976]

If you have the 'step/dir' signal from bob going to the negative- connection side on drivers you need set active low.
If connected to positive+ then set active high.

If/when they eventually move but in wrong direction then check 'reversed' in the 'soft limits' page.

Ideally need your wiring diagram that you followed.

The wiring I followed is for the c10 board with the kl-4030 here's the wiring, it's in PDF format

It's hard to help with so little info. That's why you get little response. There are way to many things that can be wrong. Does your board need a plugin? Everyone thinks they wired it correct, but if it doesn't work, start second guessing your wiring. One missed step or wire changes everything. If you post clear pics of your wiring, we migtht be able to help. The C10 is just a breakout board. How are you driving it? It is not a motion controller by itself.

[rick027]

When I started this post I added the info in PDF my whole setup from connectings to leadscrew , motors ect.

[rick027]

Kenrbass I'm using kl4030 drivers to run it

Edit: Maybe ignore me. Just read about the jumper (X7) swapping the 5v common around to pos. D'uh. (I assume you did that one)

Something has confused me a little here. Bear with.
The board diagram says 5vg next to the driver outputs. This tells me that it is 5v neg out not pos and the driver outputs are pos not neg (common cathode or anode whichever way round.

I have 2 diagrams here and BOTH are showing me that in fact the driver pins ie 1 & 2 go to pul/dir + (not neg) and the 5vg goes to pul/dir - (not pos). This will be active high (I think)

Regards to the e-stop. You might need to just stick a bridging wire in there as it tells me it is nc connection.


Edit: still looking around and again this shows pins 2 & 3 going to pos +

I did the jumper wire on the eStop. But still doesn't work

[mactec54]

Did you reset the Ports and Pins for the E-Stop and look to see if it is working

[rick027]

Yes I did reset the eStop port and pin

[rick027]

Here's my wiring

[kenrbass]

Look at the jumper. It's in a different location than the schematic diagram, but is shows you have your bottom pins set to input instead of output. It looks like if you move the jumper to pins one and two, it will change it to outputs for your motor drives.

[rick027]

I actually have moved that jumper to output...
