Actually it is the yellow and brown wire on the low voltage side that need hooked up, cap the brown wire, it is a common wire.

Did you mean Yellow and black, cap the brown? :questions: I'm not understanding the whole common wire thing. :think:

Oops, yes cap the brown. the common wire is like the household ground wire that you do not have a spot for

 

Your right, i was still half asleep when i wrote it, you want to go brown and black and cap the yellow

 

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I presume that it is brown to negative and yellow to positive on AC in on the board, correct?

Alright! Thanks for the info. Wired the supply up with a new plug, it works. Wired it up to the board, it works. Wired it up to the PC and installed Mach 3, going to test that soon!

For those of you wondering, I am using the TB 650 4 axis driver board from Hubbard CNC.

Well... Getting everything hooked up. Working with mach 3 right now trying to jog the motors.

 

Electronics test.

 

Gotten some progress made!!! Getting soooo close!!!

Hey guys... guess what.... I'M DONE!!!!!! Software this weekend....

 

Here's the manual for the board I'm using... not entirely sure how I should set the dip switches.

Also, I'm getting a grinding noise from the steppers whenever I try to calibrate or hit send printer home for anything driven by allthread rods. When I'm just jogging it by the arrows, I have no problem. :questions:

Thanks,

Thanks Mark for the 16th step and 3500 hz input. It's working great! Until the wires come lose from the circuit board. :dash1: Need to find a way around the screw clamp downs. :think:

 

No cuts yet. Still trying to figure out how to get the wires connected securely to the driver. The supplied screw connectors with the board are absolute garbage. Had one fall apart and 2 screws pop completely out on others.

rcflyboynj, You are really doing a good job, I really liked watching your videos you are really doing some cool stuff. Thanks for the camera video that will be my next step

 

Mark,

Thank you for the suggestions. The wire blocks were fine, it was the screws on the actual driver board. Talked to a friend in home security, and he informed me that I was turning the screw backwards. It's hard to explain. I will have to draw a picture to illustrate it for other people who might be using the same board.

All the motors work now and are getting connection, Just need to get the Y axis tuned right, still getting the grinding at high speeds.

Also got a message saying "One or more of your motors is tuned too fast for your kernel speed (35000)" Not sure what that means? :think:

Thanks Paule. You're getting close when you hit the electronics! Not much further to go!

rcflyboynj, I don't know if you already solved the error problem but if you didn't, the error is the inch/min setting for the axis. You can set it lower in the motor setting window. If you need more help in setting them, let me know.
