Need helpwiring up from scratch

George,

A quick diagram, and also say what you MACH3 setting are and we'll have you going in no time... :) The combination of kit you have is very common so there should be no surprises....

What power supply are you using?

Did you buy the DIYCNC board as a kit or ready made?

When you power it on, what lights/sounds do you get.

Do the motors 'lock' when you power up, or can you still turn them by hand?

Hi Irving

Power supply is 24v at 6.5amp output.

Bought it as a kit but i'm conversant with electronics somewhat.

Do you mean the lights on the Breakoutboard? if so only the blue powerlight comes on.

The motors lock,to be honest I'm not sure about the pin layout on the breakoutboard...Imean the info in the manual is not written very well, I'd go as far to say that it was terribly poor explaination for the novice CNC builder.

Will post a diagram later on today as I really need some shuteye,goteyes like ciggy burns in a blanket.

Thanks a bunch for helping.

Hi JonM

Can't load that file for some reason? only have Mach3 on hardrive at the moment.

Thats 'cos its a DXF file and not too many Windows 'out-of-the-box' applications can open it, needs a CAD package...

Irving,that diagram doesn't show the enable +&- does that mean they are dismissed?

There's one wire there that I had in "ena-"
