About to fall down the rabbit hole ??

Quick update

Getting some progress. I switched the position of the power supplies as they are both identical and the same one was giving me the red light so I was more confident it was a Knackered power supply not another short. So I bought an identical one and installed it this fixed the problem with that bit anyway.
Next managed to sort out my pin outs. With some very good assistance from the cncdrive forum I found out I had the charge pump signal pin in the wrong area so I removed this pin out from the axis menus and put the value in the I/O configuration page. So now it jogs in all axis nicely and I can move on to the E stop and limit switches.

Woohoo

IT LIVES !!!

After a lot of what can be described as confused problem solving I have got the CNC router working.
I have managed to surface the Spoilboard and make several successful test pockets and a bit of engraving.

There is a way to go until it is up to the standard I want but for now I can make some stuff and get used to the machine and the software.



Woohoo.
