New CNC Mill on the horizon

[JAZZCNC]

Try what I said set OUTPUT #1 pin 4 and then in spindle control set M3 #1 . . . And see if it works. That's how I set the spindles with IP-M.

Well I gave it a try and still nothing :/ pics below are the settings and you can see output 4 is coming on....

[JAZZCNC]

I'm presuming you have turned the Analog Spindle DAC on in Config Plug-in.?

Output 4 is obviously working as it's LED is lighting so just put a continuity test across the pins and it should toggle ON/OFF.

Aftet that then I'm at loss to help from a far.!! . . . . I'd be very surprised if the controller is faulty but suppose it's possible thou would be a first to me and I've fitted a fair few now.!

Right thanks for all the help Dean.

In answer to the questions:

Yes DAC turned on in plugin.

Did continuity test, get nothing between pins when they are on or off.

Have just wired up a din relay to output 1 from the csmio and got it working first time no problem. So who knows but I'm happy with that

The only thing that's not working quite right is the rpm if i set it at 2000 or 1000 it spins the same speed. Analog signal is fluctuating as expected with the different s commands so I think I've probably not set something right on the inverter parameters?

Wants returning then has it should work.!

How many poles should this 3kw motor have? My inverter defaults to 4 but I I'm seeing 2 a lot on the 2.2kw versions?!?

Well the checklist is getting smaller..... For now anyway.

X axis still needs wiring in and limits and home need wiring as well but it's all coming along.

Thanks again for those who have been answering the multitude of questions over the last few weeks

Hi I just want to say this is one neat build!

If you don't mind I'm in the process of designing my gantry and would like to borrow some ideas from your design, would you mind showing the gantry from the back and how you connect the ballscrew to the Z plate

thanks

Loving the build. Just a quick question though. Where did you get the grey conduit that the cables run in with the slots in it? I have no idea what its called.

Thanks

@Noplace.... Thanks, the gantry was based off a design Jazz (dean) put up quite a while back so can't take all the credit for that. I'm not with the machine at the mo but I'll try and take some pics when I get back.

Gotta.... I searched cable trunking. If you search chalon components on Google go to their website and then look under the cable management section its in there.
