mach3 help

[HiltonSteve]

This was all as per the wiring diagram are you sure this is correct matey?

This is how I wired mine with the Driver 50 from roy, according to his Uniport manual - http://www.slidesandballscrews.com/pdf/uniport.pdf - it shows it how I was explaining it. But, your driver wiring diagram shows it different.

To be honest i have not had too much experience with the PM542 drivers but looking at the wiring diagram you may be right. Do you have the 270 ohm resistors inline?

What I can not still understand is your output configuration in Mach3, why you are using ouput pins 8 and 9 for the X, 6 and 7 for the Y and 5 and 4 for the Z beats me. Have you tried a different LPT cable?.

So can you summarize what is and what is not working at the moment?

John, have you played with these drivers before?

Yes used quite a few of them, got a pick a new batch up tomorrow from Ketan at ARC now he's had another container come in.
Pre ordered 20 but he ran out and sold the ones he'd put on one side for me.

So I'll play safe and get 30 or 40 of them this time.
