Hello everyone,
Newbie here.
so i have built a 3axis cnc router 1200mm X 700mm X250mm
3 x nema23 23GHS9430B , 3AMP , 4.8V. 1.8Deg/step
3 x driver DM542A
Breakout board DB25-1205
Power supply is 240vac in 36v out
Parallel port connection

I'm using mach3, i can get all axis moving manually, but when i run set of g codes the motors don't seem to be set up correctly, i cant seem to get my head around setting the stepper motors up, dip switches and the motor tuning. The driver dip switches are set as follows
1 on
2 on
3 off =Peak 2.84A 2.03A RMS(motor rated at 3amp)
4 off for half currant
5 off
6 on
7 on
8 off =400 pulse/rev

x axis moves using a Ball screw SFU1605-1200
Y SFU1605-700
Z 250mm Screw slide table

Any and all help is greatly appreciated
