Re: STEPPERONLINE CL57T stepper drivers, fault code 7, no movement. SOLVED <incorrectly wired from stepperonline>

Hello all been really scratching my head here trying to get my lathe to move and having little success. Just bench testing the Z axis now, and I can get the motor to lock up, and when I go to jog, it shutters a little then the driver gives me fault code 7 red blinks. 261620776_927893714823463_14173...

Re: STEPPERONLINE CL57T stepper drivers, fault code 7, no movement.

SOLVED. The motor wires were incorrectly wired from stepperonline. sheeesh! I see exactly what they did too, they were looking at the schematic for the plug at the motor, and didnt wire the cable inversely, so it didnt work! Got it! Thanks all.

Re: STEPPERONLINE CL57T stepper drivers, fault code 7, no movement.

i've got cables from china that were built wrong. use a ohm meter to track it down, from what you describe it sounds like the phase wires to the motor are mixed up. 20211207_124534.jpg So I went ahead and put my ohm meter on "2000" and just used this single pin jumper in one plug, and put...

Re: STEPPERONLINE CL57T stepper drivers, fault code 7, no movement.

Don't know if this is your problem, but... Make sure the ENA input on the CL57T is disconnected. Many stepper controllers including this one keep calling the input ENABLE even though it actually disables the motion in its active state. If you connect the [default configuration] Acorn ENABLE output ...

Re: STEPPERONLINE CL57T stepper drivers, fault code 7, no movement.

make sure youve got your coils wired correctly. You can check the pairs with a multimeter, or by shorting together and trying to turn the motor. And make sure they all make good contact. It sounds like one may be not working, or they are wired wrong. Thanks for the response. I am using pre-made cab...

great video, thanks for posting.
Thats exactly what Im looking to do, i dont know the best way to go about it so any information towards that would be great

Thanks

Turn any cnc mill into a lathe: Successful Mill-Turn. CNC12 Lathe on milling machine, no hardware changes

I posted a youtube video explaining how I went about this. Id like to figure out a way to add some sort of switch to go back and forth, vs swapping the step and direction inputs around.. if anyone has any ideas. This should work on anyone's milling machine, Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOt...
