Need help with CNC machine build up

I’m at this stage noticing that I can’t change the velocity of y-axis (the one I’m testing). I think it might be the motor driver setting up problem.

Hi,
I get a PC with build-in parallel port. But i ran the parallel port tester and still got no response.

I can now toggle the machine power in linuxCNC. When I toggle it on, the machine can move when i toggle the machine power off it locks. But still no movement yet.
 

You have to flip the enable pin state.

You may run stepconf wizard once more and invert Amplifier Enable pin or you could edit it directly in you hal file.

What do you mean by no response? Have you tested inputs and outputs? Is everything powered up? You have to plug the USB cable to power the computer side in your bob and also 12-24 volts to power the machine side.

Try running parallel port tester and try to toggle pin 17 to see if built in relay will make any sound.

I have never seen anything like this. Have you tried to type a value? I don't use stepconf wizard very often.

You can always finish stepconf configuration and edit the .ini file.

But I can tell the motor driver config has no influence on this (if you mean the switches configuration).
