Robert,
I did receive your reply, thanks for sharing!...it has been very helpfull to see your diagram, comparing other solutions helps me to understand things. Sorry to all for the poor pictures I been taking, I been taking them with my blackberry, and it turns out is not a very good camera...lucky I found the charger that was lost of my new 12 megapixel canon powershot =), so expect the next pictures to be lot better... Thanks again... Hector |

Hi,
My porject went for sleep about 1 and a half year, last two weeks im being busy trying to finished before christmas... Mechaniscs all done and electronics im in the process of configurating mach3 to run the motors but not a clue whats happening, I havent nailed the right configuration, I been trying to trouble shoot the problem but I have failed for at least the past 10 hours...:confused: Ill post next some pictures of the situation.... I turn on the control box and computer with mach3 and I get this... |

Other screens:

When I enter mach3 the reset botton is flashing, presing it lits 3 leds: j15, Output Enabled and J17...the code starts to run, but the motors dont turn...nothing happens!:confused:
Forget to say: 1. A is slaved to X already... 2. Motors are energized, check them and they hold also checked with current and its present |
It looks to me like those Mach3 settings are a little off. You have port 1 pin 17 shown as enabled for both the charge pump output and the estop input. I would expect neither of those to be on port 1. Do you have two parallel ports, or only one?
Judging from the PMDX-122 manual, you want the charge pump on port 0 pin 17 and the estop input on port 0 pin 10. If that doesn't do it, please give us a closeup of the PMDX-122 with light (or tell us all the jumper settings), and let us know what you have wired into it for limit and estop switches. |
Brad is right that you cant have pin 17 for both charge pump and e-stop, however PORT 1 must be used for all your outputs and inputs (port 0 has no port selected) E-stop is usually Port 1 - Pin 10, and charge pump Port1 - Pin 17
I see on your motor outputs all your motors are set to Port 0 for step and direction - these must be set to 1 (if you are using two parallel ports with a second BOB is the only time you would use these settings as possibly port 2) |

so using 1 in output stop port & dir port is the correct option? estop port 1 pin 10? charge pump port 1 pin 17? Thanks... |
Finally Done...It took 3 years...:eek:...hahaha...The project went two sleep to times, first round was about 2 or 3 weeks, second round other 2 weeks and third round 1week, but the important part is that is done now!:)...I promise next one ill dedicate more time!;)
