Hi folks, I've bounced around the forums etc a bit. I'm trying to get my machinekit -> BBB -> Xylotex DB25 cape -> parallel port cable -> gecko g540 -> 3 x nema 23 motor moving.
This is just an electronics software test before mounting and calibrating etc. I've disabled the fourth axis in the Xylotex.hal and ini files (which i've attached ). Any help to pin point what i might have missed would be great. Things i've done: * tested pin connectivity on the db25 cable for each pin with a multimeter, no open circuits detected and the pins are one to one which i assume is the straightthrough kind * tested gecko with the 48V power supply that comes with the kit from automation technologies the motors are powered and humming (not sure if that's a good or bad thing) * hal configuration tool/plugin on axis shows pulses/signals being generated on emcmot.xx for both pos and vel cmd pins for all three axes. Same for the motor.xx.command pins * I can software jog etc but nothing moves the motors * i have the pin 1 and pin 10 of the xylotex bbb cape connected per my understanding of the instructions on xylotex website to have a normally closed connection between the two * I also have the typical estop connection wired for the gecko (tested and working. * tested all db9 connections to make sure they are wired according to geckos docs as well. Let me know if there's any other information I'm missing that might help. All and any help is greatly appreciated. -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
