Cncest 6060 controller rebuild

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the forums. When you say:

unfortunately the X axis is not working and when I try to move the X axis on the keyboard it switches the spindle on & off

It strikes me that this could just be a software configuration issue and you need to change some port and pin numbers Mach3 to get it working.

Have I missed the point, or were you planning on ripping out the electrons and spending (a potential substantial amount of) time and money anyway?

Hi Andy, I downloaded a file and imported it into Mach 3 that the seller sent me, I have also checked all the settings in Mach 3 with the settings they gave me and all looks right, at first it was just the X axis that was not working but now all axis have stopped working as it has lost contact with pc, going by how good Chinese electricals are I thought it might be worth changing the lot,regards Mike

Mike your location shows Lincoln so if your not a million miles away from Goole then your more than welcome to bring the machine over to my place and I'll see if I can get it going.
Chances are it's just a wiring issue or setting like as been suggested.

If it's more than that then I'm more than happy to advise and help you build a control for it.

That is very kind of you and I’m more than happy to come over and see you, if you could let me know when is good for you, would you need the whole router or just the controller, regards Mike

This week Wednesday is my best day but next week Monday or Wed I'm free.

It will be best if you bring the whole machine and PC etc because I can then test it properly. I'll also set it up for you ( provided it's not dead) because if motors are not tuned correctly then you could still have troubles from stalling motors etc.

I will PM you my Address, it's business address and 2 mins off the M62.

Hi Dean, Wednesday is good, I will ring you Wednesday morning to let you know what time to expect me, Thankyou once again, regards Mike

Ok, Mike. There is one thing I forgot to mention. While my help is FOC there is however an admission Fee of 1 packet of Chocolate Hobnobs which is a long-standing charge first levied by a CNC engineering Legend John S who is sadly no longer with us, so in the grumpy Old Gits memory, I'm carrying on this tradition. Plus I love hobnobs . .
