Hi CNCer's, I'm wiring up Xylotex motors on my CNC router and I wish to terminate them at the edge of the machine and then run extensions to the control box a...
... First, 18 AWG is overkill. I am using a cable that both Belden and Clark Wire & Cable have, Belden calls it star-quad, in either 22 or 24 AWG for my own...
I have been wiring up some SSRs, Estop, Home and Limit Switches and want to test them with CncPro software. If I do this WITHOUT connecting the steppers will...
Hello All, I posted a query looking for sheilded CNC cable for my machine last week as I was unable to find the same cable that came with my controller. I got...
Hi, The drive board only uses the STEP and DIR signals. All other I/O signals are only routed through the drive board from the IDC26 connector to the screw...
It is the connection/disconnection of the steppers that will typically cause damage. Operating the board without a stepper is simply leaves open circuits and ...
Ok.. I looked through the board for some potential answers and didn't find too much so forgive me if I'm asking old questions... I have the Xylotex kit with...
The motor is 200 full steps per revolution, you have 16 TPI screws, and 1/8 microstepping. You simply multiply everything, 200 * 16 * 8 = 25,600 steps per...
Ok.. so.. I have my motors configured... I THINK. Now, trying to understand Mach 3, and I'm completely lost. I thought if I had CAD drawings, it would...
Save Dwg as a DXF. Open LazyCam and press OPEN DXF. Select the Dwg. Create the layers you need. Select the tool, /start height /depth . Press Gcode. It should...
How do I set start height, depth, etc?? LazyCam has a lot of options that do NOTHING. Am I the only one that this doesn't work for? Is there an easier, ...
... I think you are referring to the "home" position of the machine, its starting reference point that all move commands are relative to. With suitable limit ...
To answer your question: Am I just stupid? YES. The information is all there, you have to look for it. A tutorial on the Mach3 show all you need to know about...

We have been using the Xylotex 3 axis board for about 4 months now and have about 45-50 hours of cut time with it... All of a sudden, the motors stopped one...
Hi, Hmm, not quite sure what you have going on. Limit switches have nothing to do with the drive board (unless you are using the +5V from the drive board). The...
Hi, I received my Xylotex XS-3525/8S-4 board last week and I'm looking to confirm it will work with a set of 3 stepper motors with the following specs: -...
Hey Jeff, Thanks for the reply... Oddly enough, the limit switches stopped working before the board got fried... We don't know when this actually occurred...

Hi, Run the motors in half winding at around 2.5A. Be sure to use a fan on the drive board heatsinks. You will not get full torque from them, but you will...
Hi, I'm still confused about how the fan does not work, yet the board still gets power. There is something wrong with the wiring (or fan perhaps ?!?). ...
