V4.14 and DYN4 - MUST SET DB25 SECTION TO SCREW TERMINALS!

Post by jj80909 »

When upgrading to v4.14 and using DYN4 servo drives, you must select "Set to screw terminals" under the DB25 tab or your servo "enable" signals won't work and your step direction will be reversed.

So... has anyone found that there are around a hundred "fill in boxes" in the wizard and ALL of them mean something? :lol: :roll: :D

There’s a lot of auto-magical in the background that isn’t explained or documented. For example using db25 step and direction and you must choose screw terminals so the enable outputs work.

Centroid ran out of time to separate DYN2 and DYN4 in 4.14.
Next revision will have a separate radio button for DYN2 AND DYN4 (provided you use the screw terminals)
