Category: General LinuxCNC Questions
I bought a used workbee with a mesa 7i96 board and I have never used linux befor, I got linuxcnc loaded on an old laptop and started working on the board, the previous owner lost all his files in a move so iv tried to figure out how he wired it but he can't rember how he did it. I got to the point were I can jog moters, I am now onto endstops and I'm lost, I used the pnconfig wizard to set each endstop on its own pin(micro switches power to com and pin to nc) the only thing he left hooked up was the estop on pin 0 but it's backwards(pushed in let's me power linuxcnc in axis mode) and the ssr for the water pump(220v vfd, water cooled spindle and pump), some of the wiring he left on the out row i don't understand and iv looked for days to see if I could find any guides he may have used. If any one here knows this board we'll and has time to help me id really appreciate it. I know linuxcnc isn't the best choice for a new cnc owner and new to linux(I'm use to marlin for 3d printers) but I'd like to try and make this machine come back to life. If this is posted in the wrong spot please move it to the right spot(new here)
