Re: Stepper wiring/colour coding
Just another thought about pins :- the enable pins for the axes might be better set high, even though the TB6560 has internal pull-up resistors, a floating pin could cause problems. X=4, Y-17 and Z =...

Re: Stepper wiring/colour coding
If you want to test how good your parallel port is then run the Driver test in Mach3 folder.! . . . Look for file called Driver test.!! . . . This will show better if your PP is up to speed.?

Re: Stepper wiring/colour coding
Don't set the Kernal speed higher than 25Khz if it does everything you want which it will with just 24V. The Kernal speed isn't directly related to how fast your PC is but more how good your parallel...

Re: Stepper wiring/colour coding
I guess you are running these motors on the bench.? If so then they can run rough sometimes when off the machine, it's resonance try clamping them down.! . . . BUT Still there are things you need to...

Re: Stepper wiring/colour coding
Mach3 parallel port driver doesn't work with Win8 or Xp/Win7 64Bit. You'll need 32bit XP or 32bit Win7 to use parallel port.

Re: Stepper wiring/colour coding
I do not use win 8, on my CNC computer I have XP, so my comments may be qualified by ignorance, however :-
If such a concept still exists in win 8, you need to go into Control Panel, System,... -

Re: Stepper wiring/colour coding
The order they come out makes no difference, use the wire colors as in the datasheet and you will have no problems.

Re: Stepper wiring/colour coding
What order the wires come out the motor is irrelevant. All that matters is the wire colours.
The fact they're in different orders, is just to do with the wires being fed out randomly. Where they... -

Re: Stepper wiring/colour coding
A quick way to test each coil is to get a pair of cables to a coil say coil AA yel/wh + yel. and short them together and try and turn the motor by hand and then try the next pair ie CC red + red/wh....

Re: Stepper wiring/colour coding
I would go with the colour coding from the correct data sheet. Check the data sheet and check the wiring of the motor against it with a multi meter to ensure that the winding correspond with the...
