I need help, I have the 4 axis tb6560. Im lost from the get go. I have 287on/in motors with 6 wires. anyone have a start point for the wiring and ports/pins?

For one thing, you will need to decide which 4 wires to hook up (and tape off the other two) - either with a full-coil or half-coil hookup. Since the voltage rating of the TB6560 is relatively low, it will probably make sense to try the half-coil one.

Look at Support, figures 9 and 10 (figure 9 shows the half-winding hookup).

I read through and understand the link you gave me but how do I know which wires are the ones I need to use. there are blue,red,black,green,white,and yellow. So far I think I have found that the white and yellow are then center wires. if someone can hit me up maybe, teach me a little something I would really appreciate it. I have a teamspeak server or we can chat over skype or txt. thanks guys

It sounds like you have the right idea.

Use a digital multimeter set on the ohms scale (at a very low full-scale value, perhaps 2 ohms or 20 ohms full-scale).

You will have two pairs of 3 wires each that are connected together - you can identify those by checking the resistance between pairs of wires and writing down the result in a table (for example, blue to red = 3 ohms, blue to white = 1.75 ohms, etc.). After you do that, you can identify the center tap wires because the resistance from the center tap to either of the end wires will be roughly half of the resistance between the two end wires (it will not be exactly half, because the multimeter probe wires will have their own resistance, but it will be close).

Once you have done that, then call one of the pairs of 3 wires your "A" winding, and the other one will be your "B" winding.

To use the half-winding hookup, choose the center tap of the A winding and either one of the end wires and hook them up, one to the A screw terminal and the other to the A' screw terminal for one of the axes, it doesn't matter which is which (I forget, maybe they are labeled A+ and A- or similar). Tape off the unused end wire so that it does not short out to anything. Then do the same with the B winding wires.

Im sure now that I have the proper wires, now the settings for mach. Iv tried all kinds of settings for pins that I have found around the net. is there a way to test and see if the board works seprately from wiring the motor up.

do I have to connect all my motors or can I test with one.

should the leds blink with activity when the mach is trying to controll?

should the motors get warm when they are connected?

but so far from what Ive found is that I dont have the correct pin setup in mach.

fyi, I have the "blue" tb6560 4 axis


my table is ready, just need to figure out these electronics
