Parallel Port breakout boards, motherboards, and dedicated accessories / Re: Connecting Clearpath servos to pmdx-126
« on: April 30, 2018, 09:59:39 AM »
Hey Tom,
I burnt up my pmdx by accidentally applying dc power to it. It works but makes the clearpath motor clunk when I turn it off. I switched to a c10 board that I had as a spare and all works well. I put the yellow, orange and brown wires which are the enable -, input A - and input b - in a ground terminal. I have the black wire which is input b in the step terminal the white wire which is input a in the direction terminal , and the blue wire in the enable input.
I have been too lazy to connect the hlfb yet, I’m pretty sure you plug those into the emergency stop input, I’m not sure though. I’ll be doing it soon though. I could be wrong but I think the motor corrects its location without the hlfb connected. I’m under the impression the hlfb wired to the break out board only stops the machine if it goes into fault.
Hope this helps you out.
Jason
