Need to know the Dip switch positions on the BOB please.

**PAULRO** · 02-05-2015

i left the dip switch positions off on the BOB. to be honest i thought that i would get the basics hooked in .

i have an e/stop , a home /limt and xyz home/limit hoooek up normally closed . i thought that these would get me up and running.

i haven't the overide wired up yet , i didn't think that would matter with regards to getting the motors to turn .

Looks like you hadn't set enable output. (enable1) Thats why the motors won't turn because the drive enable is being turned off.

Try this xml.

Yes unzip and replace the original.

well that did the trick o.k Jazz. at least i have the motors turning which was a great milestone to reach. i have to play with it to day to get comfortable with the different noises and speeds . i thought i had a problem with having only 3 inputs available because i couldn't use input 10 or 11 .......... turned out that they only become available for use when the dedicated inputs on the bob are wired in!!! every day is a day for school!! cheers for that last night , by the way.
