Re: Hi, all

Why couldn't all of the ZRI's be or'd together into one input? Just like the home switches all ganged together. Each axis backs off from home following the home command, correct? This allows the next axis to use both common inputs, home switch and the ZRI marker. To do it right, you use a mechanica...

Re: 5605D2 stepper driver

+PUL to DB25 STEP
+Dir to DB25 DIR
-PUL to DB25 Pin 18-25 (COM)
-DIR to DB25 Pin 18-25 (COM)

IGNORE the ENA. The drive should be enabled by default.

Buy the DB25 male breakout board from Amazon

Hi all, I need help. I was running a G83 cycle and all of a sudden my Z Axis moves in the + direction only when either a + or - direction is commanded. The led indicator in the Acorn board is red. I hve triple checked all connections with no luck. I am running a CL86T driver from stepperonline. Did...

Re: 5605D2 stepper driver

Connect the drive to the DB25 connector and try it.
Based on the cut sheet you posted in the first post, it is a +5dc logic drive.
It asks for resistors to be installed if voltages are higher than 5VDC

Re: Software to Convert to .g file

What software do you recommend me? I know fusion360 but can you recommend me another? You understand you need CAD to design the part. Then you export the file to CAM to create the Gcode correct? Most times, it's not the same software package that does both. Plasma is 2D so from a CAD stand point, y...
