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 ba...

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.

Yes. The jumper is not connected for Enable.

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 Ac...

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 reread...

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 motor ...

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.
