New Build - 2007 ShopBot PRS
Finally getting around to building my new controller for my ShopBot. Today I bolted everything down to the backing plate for the controller. Hope to get wiring done tomorrow so I can test all 4 new motors with the controller over the weekend.

Re: New Build - 2007 ShopBot PRS
Got my controller wiring done and tested stepper motors today. Struggled to get x1 & x2 properly wired, but finished that today. A few pics below.

Heatshrink dressing the cable jackets and ferrules!!!! Way to go! I always try to make my retrofits look OEM and it pleases me to no end to see others doing the same. Great work!
Cheers,
Tom
Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Adding a video of my bench test of stepper motors today.

Re: New Build - 2007 ShopBot PRS
I am wiring up my limit switches, each switch has 3 wires. I am looking for a connector so I can "plug" in my limit switches outside my controller, similar to how I did my motors. So I will wire up the limit switch and run wire thru control box wall and terminate at a connector.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can do this cleanly? Like a wago connector or something.

Re: New Build - 2007 ShopBot PRS
I use a Phoenix connector on one of the models I sell for the older PRT's that might work. There are pics of them in this thread: https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=6513
I buy them from DigiKey

Re: New Build - 2007 ShopBot PRS
Working on my limit switches today, particularly trying to get the x axis switch wired and sensing properly. Don't know if my wiring is off or I am doing something in setup wrong. My limit switch has brown, black and blue. I have brown and black to common and blue to input one. I have tried setting to NC and NO and neither work when I move gantry over switch. I also have a video of my testing.

Re: New Build - 2007 ShopBot PRS
"Diagram 3" shows Brown and Black are +V. Why do you have them connected to common?
