    I’m new to the cnc and have a problem with jogging my open build . I’m not sure if my 24v power supply is bad or my bob board is bad. The board doesn’t light up when I plug my cable in , in doing so my motors don’t activate. I am running a Rattmotor breakout board .having a had time figuring out the pins and how do you count the pins ie left to right or right to left. So programming the mach3 motor control is difficult . Can any one help me

    I don’t have a vendor since I bought this online. I know who built it, but don’t know how to contact him. He has many YouTube‘s out on open build. One of his YouTube‘s shows him building the exact frame camera and wiring. I don’t know how to contact him. I was able to jog my machine about a month ago decided to hook up my limit switches. But noticed I couldn’t light up my brake outboard. I disconnected all limit switches and still cannot jog or even activate. My access is on mock three I know my drivers are in the right position on my break out board , but I don’t know how to enter the pin positions in mach three. I might have to take my multi tester and see if I’m getting 24 V out of my power supply to the board. I would think if I’m getting 24 V out then the board could be bad.

    Your post title says its a CNC. Is it a Camera Slider? What exactly is it. Include some pics, so we can see if its a good match for our BlackBox or not. If it is that might be the easier option as suggested as it seems your current hardware has no tech support path to pursue. We don't really provide support for 3rd party boards, so you might need to contact the manufacturer of the BOB instead if you do prefer to use it instead / the machine does not allow the BlackBox as an option.

    Yes my phone said camera which tell me my phone is not a smart phone. Lol
    This person shows on his utubes building the exact casing mine is using his cnc . He also show the wiring but doesn’t explain the PIN numbers to enter into mach3. The breakout board is a Rattmotor 4 axis breakout board. I went over the driver s and they are all hooked up correctly to the breakout board making sure the pulse and directs are connected properly. I can’t get the light to light up on the breakout board
