Hi, The Xylotex drive box is a "drive box". It's function is to power stepper motors. It is not a complete CNC system. It has nothing to do with extra I/O...
Thanks Jeff, I've ordered a BOB, and will run it from a second printer port. Daisy chaining to the extra connector, would still be problematic without knowing...
The four axis driver kit I bought just brought all the parallel port signals back out (pin to pin) to a second DB25 connector. This gives you access to the...
Thanks Jeffrey, I guessed that would be the case, but wasn't willing to take any chances. If I had opened the box to check, I would have voided the warranty....
... I wouldn't say it is nonsense, but it could be better. But, I've seen really large worldwide corporations have worse documentation. With a smaller outfit...
Hi, Well, I kind of thought that, since the documatation states that either one port could be used to connect to the PC, that it would be understood that the...
Hi, I'd recommend going to www.cnc4pc.com and looking at their series of BOBs. E-mail Arturo there for more information regarding which of his boards are best...
Hi, Rather than risking opening the box to get the required information, you can use the e-mail address printed on the top of the page that's taped to the top...
Well, I kind of thought that, since the documentation states that either one port could be used to connect to the PC, that it would be understood that the each...
Hi, The note taped to the top of the drive box is where you read the info. Easy to get excited, read it once and discard it, when what you really want to do...
Get used to it, although Xylotex hardware is good for building a small CNC machine the documentation is shotgunned all over the place and is vague in many...
I know if you email Xylotex directly he won't respond and if you email an important question hear you may get a response within a week or so. I don't see any ...
Hello Friends, I'm using the xylotex unipolar board for a long time, and I'm very happy with it, but one of the axis is dead, I want to buy some replacements...
Hi Jeff, That's exactly what I did. I didn't get a response from my email, so I posted here. I certainly did not intend to cause any angst, I was just trying...
Hi, I respond to all e-mails I get (regarding Xylotex products). There may be two issues with someone not getting a reply to an e- mail: 1) I never received...
I can say that I've had good responses from Jeff when I sent him email at the support address. We exchanged several emails over a few days, so I was happy. ...
Hello All, First off, I'm a huge fan of XYLOTEX. I looked around for 6-8months before pulling the trigger on buying a kit, nearly a year later I'm still really...
... No idea of your driver software, but for any of the 425's a 20 ipm speed is going to be very close to the top of the envelope. If the z has to lift the ...
Gene, Thanks for the reply. Maybe my problem all along has been that I don't really know what I'm doing :) I was just guessing on how fast my axis should be...
Yesterday I shorted the X axis stepper motor wires while jogging to home. They were crushed between one of the table. Well, Smoke and a foul smell appeared...
Edward, The settings you have entered in EMC2 are correct assuming: a.) You are using half microstepping (changed from the default of eight stepping) You have...
Tom, Thank you for the reply. The settings that I posted are for my X and Y axis. Out of curiousity, how did you figure that is 18 IPM? My Z axis is setup to...
Edward, I figured you at 18 IPM (inches per minute) by 0.3 inches /sec * 60 = 18 IPM.If you are using full stepping then your "Driver microstepping" setting...
Tom, Thank you so much for the thorough explination. After seeing the math now I feel like an idiot for not figuring that one out! Oh well, there are no dumb...
I did not receive this message: The "STOP! READ THIS FIRST!" sheet that was supposed to be taped to the drive. Would someone be willing to share theirs...
Hi, For a PDF version of the document, go here: http://www.xylotex.com/BoardSetupA.pdf This note is attached to drive boards when they ship out. On the reverse...
Hello all! This might be a silly question, but in the name of knowledge, I'm willing to ask it :) I bought the xylotex power supply when I bought the kit and...
... In all probability no, for 2 reasons. 1. The plus and minus 12 volts they supply is referenced to ground, which would put the minus rail on the board at...
