+offroaddreams4x4ed Nice! I'm really happy with the Keling parts so far, I just finished up the Z-axis (working on finishing up the video for this weekend). The 1200oz-in on the Z-axis can really move that sucker! Crazy speeds!
I have same system but I have hard time get it spin I think it's because mach3 from pc. You told that show set up on pc but never did so can you help me out with that.
Did you have to do anything special to get your pc to recognize the breakout board or was everything good to go once you installed the Mach 3 software?
Bill Clifford thanks for the kind words Bill! I am over here on the east coast, so unfortunately I'm not aware of anyone out there doing a conversion. Maybe someone here in the comments section in Washington will find you
thank you for your info , is your PC 32bit ? Artsoft says that mach 3 doesn't support 64bit systems, my issue is that i have a 64bit system and i have not a parallel port on my PC .any recommendations ?
There is no way to run MACH3 on a 64 bit system as it uses a 32 bit driver (never updated). As for absence of parallel port, you can always get yourself a mach3 usb controller, they are around 35$ on aliexpress.

thank you for all. nice video simple very pedagogic video you explain with very simple methods. I'd love to have the cost of these elements and if it is possible the circuit of wiring. Thanks again
im also using a old dell, but i have yet to get any of the stepiers to move, i did buy a pci e parallel card but havnt tdied it yet, im using back of cpu,..
i bought my kit from automationtech an ive seen some kits have a usb an a parallel port but mine only has parallel port,...is that ok? Is that what you got?, my power supply for the breakout board is a metal box as well its not the house phone charger look either..? I just wana make sure i got the right stuff b 4 its to late to return it or get them to honor there sale
+Benjamin Usey I would have to go down into the shop to see my current settings, can't remember offhand. I know I am using pretty high micro-stepping, I think the second from highest setting. Are you using shielded cables? Non-shielded cables causing interference or a bad connection are the only things I could think of to cause erratic motor issues.
Yes, all shielded cables. Just disconnected all wires and re-wired everything. Checked power supplies with a meter. I'm baffled. Same choppy slow motor movement.
Good morning my name is Javier I'm from Tijuana, and 'm working with a cnc home made but I need some support to configurate the switches can you helpme with that, Ican senyou photos... thanks.
This is the schematic I used: www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=7&ved=2ahUKEwi0g4ibmdjiAhVsplkKHWu1BUAQFjAGegQIARAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.automationtechnologiesinc.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fdownloads%2F2013%2F05%2FKL-4042Dwiring.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3xecxpoQT4YonHTy-ewlkB
Congrats for a great channel, excellent format and content. My 7 yr old grandson loves it too.
Thank you very much! Just be cautious around the little one as I do occasionally cuss in some videos.
Just getting my build started also I have all the same parts all keep tabs and see how it goes for you looks good

Joshua Stringam if I remember correctly it was fairly plug and play using the parallel port. Sorry I can't be of more help this was a couple years ago
Great video. The best I have seen on the G0704.
Do you know of anybody in Western Washington State that is converting a G0704.
Thanks, Bill

Hi I can’t find the settings for the drivers. I am using nema 23.

Glad you enjoyed. Sorry but it's been so long since building this I have no clue what it cost
Can you plz give me full circuit diagram
Awsome vid. What forum?

Mine also only has a parallel port. Just make sure you use an old PC with a parallel port, and you will be good to go!
good video!, i have one question, does the breakout board need a separate power supply or is it powered by the computer?
i have it supplied by usb from the computer ,, i think they all are so
my Z is 8 wires an its getting hot sitting there, also cant get mach3 to turn mtors or do anything, its getting agrivating
i also bought the same kit as you wonder why my z is diffrent
What micro step settings are you using? I have the same setup but I am having erratic motor movement.

You wouldn't happen to have an oscilloscope would you? I'd be curious to see the waveforms coming from the drivers.
No, no o-scope. I'm going to order another C10 as I realized that estop does not work either.
+Benjamin Usey not a bad idea, definitely sounds like something may be bad on your breakout board
How much did all the electronics cost
he said around 700$ or so in the video
Congrats man
very good tutorial can you pass the electrical diagram please
Good morning my name is Javier I'm from Tijuana, and 'm working with a cnc home made but I need some support to configurate the switches can you helpme with that, Ican senyou photos...
thanks.
Can you give me the schematic diagram
Literally clicked just cause I saw a face
we're u purchase you're c10 board from
Company is called Automationtechnologies
HE HAS A FACEEEEEE
I figured youd be bald
Shhhh nobody can know
Cnc schematics, sir can you giv me. Copy.. Your email please?
Can you plz give me full circuit diagram
