Hi all,

I am just getting my H1 running but it won't move, wiring wrong?
One of those 4-axis boards.

Using Mach config from this forum, posted by mhackney

motor wiring as shown on drawing from SeeMeCNC for 3-axis;
---green
---black
---blue
---red

board switches;
1-off
2-on
3-on
4-on
5-off
6-off


Also, what temperature should I start with?


And what pins should I jumper when I remove opto isolaters?


Thanks!

Brian, start with basics,

when you power on and enable mach (the big RED estop button at the lower left on the screen) do you hear and feel the steppers energize?

If not, then we need to get that sorted. I am now using the 4 axis board so I can send some photos later.

As for temp, that is controlled manually by the velleman thermostat. Lets leave that unplugged (disconnected) until we get your axis moving!

cheers,
Michael
