I just got my package from Keling and have been trying for two days to get anything to move.
I have:
Desktop pc with a pci paralell port card
C10 BOB
3x KL-5060
3x Nema17 2A 4wire Steppers
48V psu
I have one stepper wired to the 5060 and it wired to the C10 so when I short either the Dir/Step to the com pin the motor moves as expected. I have a switch on pin 10 and 5V (EStop). a 5v/1A wall wort connected to the power and 5V on the EN pin.
I connected the pc to the C10 and turned on Mach3 but I cant get anything to happen, the estop doesn't register on the pc and mach wont move the motor. I noted that under port settings if I select port #2 and apply the emergency light stops flashing in mach's diagnostics page but when I have port #1 selected it flashes. Also noted that I can randomly make up a hex number and the above things happen all the same so I think mach is not even accessing the parallel port at all.
Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong? Im pretty certain its all wired correctly but mach3 has so many numbers, buttons, and pages of settings I don't even know what to look at.
