Parallel Port breakout boards, motherboards, and dedicated accessories / ROTARY AXIS SET UP
« on: March 03, 2023, 07:17:04 PM »
I would like to verify my set up with my bob before going any further. What I have is a PMDX 126 (no version noted, probably A) ,ESS Smooth Stepper , PMDX 107 spindle control using pins 16 and 14 on parallel port 1.
I have my A axis slaved to my X axis. I am using 5 gecko drives 214. So the best I can tell is I need to hook up my rotary axis gecko driver to J5 PC+,B,C,PC gnd . This would then become my B axis .My next Question would be how to configure Mach 3 . Thanks for any help, Tommy
