Morning..quick update
Thanks for the troubleshooting ideas,… I found a bad 5v feed connection to the other drives!!
Y axis ok, Z axis shows it’s moving on the screen but not getting the actual drive to turn? More checks…
Need to figure out pairing the y drives yet
Thanks for info/help and ...

Hi Joey,
I cannot run a touch off cycle!
Touch off goes through it's cycle to the point of going down & hitting the float limit and stays there!! no raising done at all!
I even went so far as changing input wiring to #3 instead of #2 and changed in the wizard inputs and no difference!

Hi,

Z axis ? I got Z axis to zero, then when I dry ran the program torch came down all the way and tripped the limit switch but did not raise the .155 that I had set up. Thus everything just errored out. Limits are working ok, they check out ok on the diagnostic screen….must be missing ...

I would like verify that the the Acorn is functional, am also ...

The wiring is the same from X drive as the other drives> the db25 connection
Program/software settings I’m missing?
Thanks

Yes I made them all work be plugging them into the X axis
Thanks

Thanks…Doug

Hi again,
Got only one motor to work, would imagine enabling it, did it?...it didn't for the others though, I can't seem to see what i missed
Only the one drive operating, I'm obviously missing something plus probably not understanding the instructions!
I swapped the motor signal connection from ...
