SOFTWARE NEEDED TO RUN My CNC 3040T

[tommegna]

Newbie,
I also got a 3040t cnc and loaded licensed Mach3, but nothing moves! All that works is the Estop! There are limited switches on the 3 axises. I have them NO normally open per diagr on the internet. There are so many set ups on the Net. Can anybody help me. I didn't know where to post this info!
Thanks

Generally best to start a new thread rather than resurrect a 6 year old one.

When you start that new thread, include some photos, specifically of the electronics. There are about a million of these knock offs all with different traits, hence why there are so many different setups on the net. Generally speaking you probably need to ask the person you bought it from for a list of mach 3 settings.

3040 is a generic machine with various manufacturers, all doing their own thing with parts and wiring, you need to know how it's wired to configure Mach3, the diagnostics page will show input states so you can actuate switches whilst watching the screen and see which inputs are used.
