I can understand that the driver may need out-of-band configuration (beyond what the dip switches provide) in order to adjust performance, etc.

The current schematic silently relies on a very specific configuration of the driver that is not outlined anywhere. The average end-user has no way of ...

If the only way for that schematic to function is to reprogram the driver and that critical detail isn't listed on the schematic, it's wrong.

Finally got the video done for Part 3.

As Gary mentioned earlier, also remove the "drive ok" from your inputs. See if this gets the drives moving then figure out the alarm signals. You may have the alarm signal wired incorrectly or it may be a NO circuit and you have it set for NC. Either way, drag the "drive ok" input out of input 5 ...

Imgur link doesn't work, and it's hard to tell by zooming in on it here, but something doesn't look right with that E-Stop circuit. Are there two black wires going into input #1? It looks like IN1 and IN8 are looped together and to common. Really hard to see for sure.

Also, verify that the 6 ...

I removed the ENA connections and the behavior remains the same, without the stepper unlock - it remains locked. Any movement attempt results in DRIVE FAULT.

Pics of my config and the report zip are attached.

tnx.

I will go through everything again today to make sure the wiring is good.

If the ENA connections shouldn't be used, why are they called out on the schematic provided by Centroid?

tnx.

(FYI, even though I've got the forum set to send me notifications on replies, I wasn't notified of any of you ...

I've been slowly working on my SB conversion and I'm getting things configured in order to do a bench run of the system.

I'm using a Leadshine closed loop stepper (CS-D1008) and using the Centroid schematic # S14974.
I do not have any end stops or homing switches as part of the setup.

Initially I ...

I wanted to stop by and let you folks know I wasn't dead or something. Life has rearranged my schedule a bit, so I'm not working on the ShopBot conversion as frequently as I'd like. I'm hoping to get another update video done soon.

tnx.

Ok, thanks!
