SUCCESS!!!

Third time is the charm. I had two bad KBMG-212D controller bought from ebay. The 3rd was new and works like a charm. This motor is very quite. Now I can move on with the rest of the restoration.

Thank you Marty for being so patient and helping me trouble shoot the problem. It was just ...

I will double check inside the Wizard that I have the right state chosen for output 4 & 5.

The pictures show how I have the relays wired.

I decided to buy a second KBMG-212D driver to see if something was wrong with the driver.

I swapped out all the connectors to the new driver after setting all the jumpers to match the original setup.

After I checked my wiring a few times I decided to power up the system. When AC is applied to the ...

I installed the spindle drive and motor today for bench testing. KBMG212D with C89 board.

I am not getting any rotation out of the motor so I must have something configured wrong. M3 S1000 command turns on relay 4 (Enable) but that is as far as it gets. I am not sure what to test yet. So I am ...

Marty,

I have the second stepper running now. I watched your Emco Compact 5 bench testing video where you explained how to set up CNC12 Lathe. Great video.

The thing I am having the most trouble with (SOLVED) is setting the motor to revolve once per inch like yours did. The information on the ...

Todays mission was to get the CL-HSS57 closed loop steppers to spin. These drives are only similar to Leadshine, they are more like Steppersonline drives. These required the signal be inverted.

I will post a picture of the Axis inputs and configurations I used. I will also post the schematic I made ...

I have a question regarding CNC12 update. I found the thread about updating to V4.62. My current version is CNC12 Mill Free 4.12 ( I bought the acorn a long time ago before I decided what machine I would put it on.). I want to install CNC12 Lathe instead of mill, then buy the full version of lathe ...

Heart Beat.

Thank you for reviewing the drawing Marty. I appreciate all you do to help people.

I have wired up the Acorn and have a heartbeat. Now I need to follow the rest of the bench test advice. I'm looking forward to getting the Acorn working.
