I've read dozens of threads and not one of the replies seems to cover what to me seems like a very basic answer.
What I have:
SW
SheetCAM (Licensed)
MACH3 (Locked Down and Fully Licensed)
HW
TB6560 (Blue PCB) 4 Axis Controller
24V 350W Pwer Supply(So far I have tested the voltage output and it's a solid 24 and ran it to the BOB which fires up with LED's all good and the fan running)
qty 4 270oz 4 Wire Nema 23 Stepper Motors.
I don't think I missed any relevant info needed, but please tell me...
But please don't bother replying if all you want to do is tell me to mess around with the BoB or how much of a piece of crap it is. All I need help with is a super simple layout of a 3 axis set up, with Y and A slaved to run either side of the gantry with MACH3 and a Parallel Port 25din into this set up TB6560 4 Axis.
If I can PLEASE just get a simple settings list to put in to MACH3 from the TB6560 (Blue) 4 Axis and just a little more help on a diagnostic program with MACH3 or the proper controls within the GUI to test the motors that would be GREAT!
P.S. I can do without twenty responses telling me to go to the "How I fixed my TB6560" thread because I am not an electrical engineer and have no intention on messing with the board. :argue:
So... How Do I simply go into Mach3 and set the Parallel Port Pins and then the Inputs and Outputs to the BoB and then run a TEST from within MACH3?!
