AXYZ Millennium Conversion was created by rhscdn
Just getting started on planning my AXYZ cnc router retrofit. Regarding the “AXYZ AXI” stepper drivers, the wiring diagram I have indicates driver control is standard 3 cable (12vdc, step, dir). Dip switches have the micro steps set to 1200 micro steps/rev (default). Is there anything else I need to know?
The stock spindle inverter was replaced with an eTrac X2C and is currently wired with 6 wires (gnd, decelerate, accelerate, 5vdc, feedback, on/off). Is there anything else I should consider?
My current plan is to purchase a Mesa 7i96s. For a pc, I have a Dell Optiplex 7050 and an ELO touchscreen ready to go.
Backstory, the AMC controller board on the small AXYZ cnc router that I bought is bad. It shows ‘Error 92’ or no controller OS and the AXYZ tool path software is unable to communicate with the board to restore it. My plan had been to convert the machine to Linuxcnc anyways but it would have been nice to test it and take some measurements prior to starting the conversion.

1200 steps/rev assumes your motor is 200 steps/rev
Why stepper drivers don't just list the microstepping fraction, I'll never know.
Most people hate fractions, maybe that's why.
That means 1/6th step.
