Got the z table hooked up but nothing happens when I try and jog it from LW4 what should i be looking for on the board and the controller as far as lights go?

Looks like you followed my guide. Did you also make the config changes as stated in the guide?
William Kearns August 07, 2017 05:30
yes I copied and pasted them from the guide.

Ok, just going through checks here. Is the external PSU powered up? Are the green LEDs on the external driver on?
William Kearns August 07, 2017 05:37
it appears to be the light is green on the external PSU and i noticed there is only one light switched on the controller. There are two green ones right next to each other
Ashley M. Kirchner [Norym] August 07, 2017 05:44
Ok, yeah, one is power, the other is an alarm. Ok, can you dump your entire config.txt into a pastebin (pastebin.com) and send me the URL for it?
William Kearns August 07, 2017 05:46
yes will send later on Monday. thank you for looking! closing up shop now

Cheers!

did i do that right?
Ashley M. Kirchner [Norym] August 08, 2017 03:07
Ok, so all of that looks ok at first glance. Next, in LW, did you enable the Z Stage?
William Kearns August 08, 2017 03:08
i keep getting an alarm lock? when i jog the z axis it started to move then stopped?

Ashley M. Kirchner [Norym] August 08, 2017 03:14
what happens if you clear the alarm, then jog again?
William Kearns August 08, 2017 03:16
just figured out the clear alarm. The motor turns but just barley @ its jerky put jog at 100mm and it maybe turns a quater of a turn. Is there any other setting i might be missing?
Ashley M. Kirchner [Norym] August 08, 2017 03:26
I need to see what your LW settings are. At 0.1mm it should move just a little bit, but at 100mm it should be spinning fast and smooth.
William Kearns August 08, 2017 03:32
doesnt turn at all just a high pitch hiss almost when the command is sent to it.
William Kearns August 08, 2017 03:35
could it be motor current anyway to adjust that?

Set the red dip switches of the tb6600 for 1 amp and 1/16 micro stepping. Carefully note which way is on for them.
William Kearns August 08, 2017 03:38
This is how it’s set now
William Kearns August 08, 2017 04:13
Set it to this and it makes a super light squeaking noise and it does not turn.
