Hello

This is Luis, from Costa Rica:

I am Working in a cilyndrical robot
Using dynomotion Kaflop (steper motors open loop until now) with Mach 3, everiting is working ok!
So X an Y axis are moving the arm of the robot.
the Z axis is not working.
I am puting my configuration details in the group files.

Hope somebody could see the fly or elephat I am not looking at.....

Regards, Luis

Hi Luis,
 
I don't see any elephants.  The only thing I question is why you are using Step/Dir Generators 0,2,4,6 rather than 0,1,2,3.
 
Each Step/Dir axis only needs to specify one output device so only OutputChan0 is used.
 
You can check if your hardware is working and wired correctly by toggling bits on the Digital I/O screen.  Cycle KFlop power so all bits are still configured as General Purpose I/O.  Then set the bit associated with the pin as an Output and Set the bit low,  Toggle the bit from an Input to an Output to step the axis.
 
Good luck,
TK

Thanks a lot the output channels were the problem
Now the 3 motors are moving, no problem in wiring it was just the output channel settings.

Regards, and thanks for the fast advice.

As soon i finish the project will put a video of the robot working it is almost finish
