stepconf woes..

ok deleting the folder seemed to fix that problem. But I'm still were I was to begin with!

oK...


As I said before pins 1-6 of the parallel port remain at a constant +5.26vdc, regardless of whether EMC is running or not. Nothing I do changes this and I mean NOTHING. Well unless I turn off the computer
I'm not using the PCI card at thks time, decided to go back to the onboard port for awhile.
I have the cable connecting the c10 breakout board which is connected to the keling 4030's which are connected to the motors.

The other pins float at a few milivolts but other than that they don't change either. The address I'm using is 0x378

Sorry it took me so long to reply but I was trying something. it turns out that if I remove the +5vdc power supply from the c10 breakout board I get varying output from the output pins just as they are supposed to when EMC is running a program. So now I'm double checking my stepper wiring to see if it will work now. so give me a few minutes to re check my wiring.

well the pins vary between 1.4 and 2.5vdc while emc is running but no movement

without power on the breakout board , it will not work as the 5v is required for the onboard ic supply ,

ok i'd take it at the moment that if your seeing the voltage alternate on the port , that this is working correctly
i would expect once the c10 is connected that you will not see any voltage swing

did you use stepconf and produce a stepper configuration with only the steppers ?
connect only the steppers at this time , and disable the enable on the c10 or if your stepper drives have an enable wire , disconnect it

can you confirm the c10 is wired as www.kelinginc.net/KL-4030WithC10.pdf

and that the jumper x6 is set to pins 1&2
jumper x4 is set to pins 1&2
jumper x5 at this stage is set to 1 & 2
and finaly the enable pin is jumpered to +5v

where is the 5v supply derived from a pc supply or wall wart etc and is it capable of at least 500ma or more

at this stage leave all other limit switches disconnected at the c10 board

then run the stepconf wizard application from the desktop menu
select kelling 4030 and set stepper step & direction pins , configure pins 1 , 8,9,14,16,17 as unused
i.e only the stepper drives are used

pins are active low for these types of stepper drives , dont forget the step & direction opto + input pins on the stepper drives go to +5v supply of the c10

it is possible to check the drives at this stage , by powering up and breifly shorting out the step pin to gnd of the 5v supply or -ve with a peice of wire , each time you touch the wire the motor will move one step
so a quick on off on off , should see or hear the motor moving a few steps , if you have not already done so


in axis configuration set the driver microstepping to 8 if using default microstepping as drivers are supplied
adjust steps per rev etc to your configuration , and try the test this axis function . see what results you get
