No motor movement

[Kutton]

Do a simple test. Is the stepper locked when powered? If you can spin the motor with drives powered then the driver is not enabled

Russ

Yes the stepper is locked.

A point of clarification: You say: "No green light"
Does this mean there are no status LED's on the drive, or that ones that are there are not lit?

The drive has a green status light but not lit.

Have you tried another drive?
What does the voltage read at the drive? At the power supply?
Any chance the polarity is reversed?

The drive has a green status light but not lit.
I made share that the controller was connected to computer by pinging controller address.

Have you tried another drive?

I thought we were working on x axis, but I try all axis when I try x. All motors are locked when acorn is activated.
Would you know anyone who could give me a wiring diagram from motor drivers to board?

Here is a schematic to try.

I will tell you,
I would start from square one with a Benchtest (NOT IN THE MACHINE)
Fresh install of CNC12 and Acorn BENCHTEST first. Make sure the CNC PC and Acorn are communicating
I would then take ONE stepper driver, One stepper motor, the stepper motor power supply and wire them up to a DB25 breakout board connected to Acorn. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GONE INTO PARAMETERS and reduced your step rate! If you make a change in Wizard, and save the changes, you HAVE to go back in and change the step rate again. Because the Wizard will overwrite it.

Post pictures of each step. Post a new report.

Wiring diagram was the reason I now have motor movement. Thanks Marty. Question I have two steppers running my Y axis. Do I need pro license to get them to move correctly.

So you are saying your motors are turning now?
IF so, get X Y Z and SLAVE (Axis 4) all set up the same.
See if they all turn

Yes, for Axis pairing you need to buy the PRO license.

Where can I find serial number of controller so can purchase pro?

[cncman172]

Generate a report, it will have the serial number in the report.

How to remove program from software?

[cncman172]

Not sure I understand your question. Are you asking how to get the report and get the serial number? Or are you asking how to uninstall the CNC12 software from your PC?
