I'm a newbie to this stuff and this forum. so please bare with me and make explanation simple to understand for an old 62 year old fart
I need some help with configuring my drivers and wiring for Mach3 Demo version
This is what I use:
Windows 7 pro with 32 Bit
Parrallel port
when I crank up Mach 3 and then go to device manager.
I get a ? mark under drop down, so I applied a patch that I applied, but it still stays there ????????
Wantai DB25 1205 Breakout Board
Wantai stepper motor Model 57BYGH115-003 3.0 A 1.8 Deg/Step
4 x DQ542MA Wantai drivers
I'm using the Mach3 Demo version.
I connected everything like Wantai motors told me.
motors lock up when power is applied and it looks like mach 3 is going through its stages, but motors do not move
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have tried to use directions for setting for mach 3, but I guess they may not be correct either
I have a 5 volts power supply hooked up to MB , But when checking voltage it only reads 2.8 volts
