i really respect yo for actually showing how to wire stuff and just talking
Watching the video from my computer chair in the study and it's as clear as mud......when I get out to the garage.....(not at the moment with 10 deg C)....... I'll have some notes I've made from this video for the connections......tanks a lot.
Merci pour toute vos expériences
Hi Roger, you are a life saver! First it is great to find an Ozzie on RUclips who speaks the same language as me and works in mm and 240v.
My name is Mike living in Tassie. I am 76 yo and an old dog trying to learn new tricks.
I have wanted to have a play with CNC for a number of years but could never find a machine within my budget that would do more than carve wood signs that say “Dad' Shed”. To cut a a long story short I have build a CNC router from 17mm aluminium plate, installed Nema23, controllers and power supply from Stepperonline. Also A 2.2 Vevor spindle and DFV.
I am at the stage of wiring it up and without a mentor (I have an qualified electrician mate who is not CNC savvy) I have been tearing, whats left of my hair out, UNTILL I found this video of yours which has the EXACT same break out board which I purchased without any idea of what I was doing!
So thanks for the very clear instructions (will have to change a few wires, very pleased I did not try to power up :-))
However I still have some wiring FOG. Do you have a video that shows DFV to this break out board please?
I have wired the spindle (again with your video) and it seems to run OK.
Also the only controller software I could find on this board was a software called Drufell which is a paid software and as I am on a pension it would just add to the cost. How can I get the Mach3 setting to at least make a start.
All the best and thank again
Mike
I fully agree Mike . it's a nice change to get Aussie content and made so simple for us old guys born before computers
I'm in the process of building a benchtop CNC mill for work, for preparation of mechanical test specimens, and your videos have been very informative, thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you very much again for holding my hands
Erittäin loistavaa opetusta ,olen yrittänyt saada konettäni toimimaan ,mutta en ole onnistunut.Toivottavasti täältä saan apua ongelmaani,kiitos
Good video sr. Nice and easy understand your explain 👌👍
Thank you brother your a good teacher nice and slow for someone like me I have to be shown everything because I do visual learning better than explaining something so Thank you mate from Florida and I'm new to CNC .
You are very welcome
Hello Roger, I have the mk4-v usb version and it works verry well on my cnc machine
Simple step 👌 good luck
God bless you...
And thank you
👍👍👍👍👍 je suis fan de ce que vous faites merci merci 🙏
Merci beaucoup pour ce tutoriel ! Mais, tu ne montres pas le branchement du fil blanc et noir pour la prise d'origine du x... 24v ? Pouvez-vous m'envoyer une photo du branchement s'il vous plait ? Merci encore!! je comprend pas la fin!!! si tu peux m'aider?
thanks roger sir best explaine nice
thank you for the info!
oui je suis d accord avec Phil= your videos have been very informative, thank you. and slow expiclain
You're welcome
Hey, this is a great thorough walk through for wiring a steer driver/motor, would it be possible to use a mach 3 board and run duel motors on each axis?
I recently purchased all upgrades on everything from electrical, to motors, to ball screws fro my bench top optimill as the cheap kit i got couple years ago was a little under powered, looked at these control boards and coundnt find too much help for them, my old controller is that same red RNR board which are good! after some research i found the uc300 had a lot of info, spec sheets, wiring sheets, wiring and set up videos and works like a dream and easy for full automation and can move all axis at the same time via keyboard controls, im interested to see what the issue is for with you as they are not cheap controllers.I was considering a smc until i found your video on the scams that come along with it! love the videos roger! cheers from chch nz
Great tutorial, i was looking for a good clear limit switch setup and here i have found one,
also i have noticed that many other are using different pins for the limit switch,
is there a preferred pin.
I tried Pin3 or input 3 and all i get is the LimitOV light
So I have had to use pin input no 2
As I use pin input no1 for probe
Again the probe was instructed to number 2 but did not work
And So it is in pin number 1 input
I have exactly the same board as you
So I wonder if either the firmware is setup different, or is it the software that uses different settings.
Hello Roger, I have the mk4-v usb version of that controller and I can verify it works in Mach 3 version R3.043.062 on a basic windows 10 laptop. When you power it on do you get 2 solid red lights on the side of the controller? One thing I would suggest is when install Mach 3 make sure you do not install the parallel driver. I need to finish documenting an install procedure that worked for me and I could share it with you.
Hello to the lovely teacher and tutorials. Please teach us how to install a laser module to this card
and wiring as spindle setting so that we can work laser with Mach3, there are no clear and precise tutorials in easy words. Thanks
Hi Roger, I am so thankfull for this video. I just bought the RED BRD you are demonstating. Yes, 1. Don't install the parallel driver. 2. Your information that the 24Volt side of the Board was consider port #3 solved all my problems installing the E-stop, Limit switches, No where could I find how to get the USB version of Mach3 to talk to the switches. Also having the Gnds for the two sides of the boards separate also corrected a problem. I used a generic schematic to build my CNC. Do you have a diagram for the Red Board BSMCE04U-PP or BSMCED4U-PP. On my board it hard to tell whether d or 0. Again thankes so much for the video and information. The CD did not have anything about the infor. Jerry ATL USA
super content.... even super+++
Thanks
Hi Roger, nice video. Did you connect 24 vdc ps because the stepper motor is for 24 v? Can you explain a little bit about the voltage and current rated for a motor related to the voltage and current on the driver? I'll appreciate it. Thank you.
The 24V is for operation of the limit switches (in this video) and other I/O ports. The larger power supply in the video is what powers the stepper motors through the stepper motor drivers.
Thanks for the video.
I connect all wires the same way as you, but I only get a red flashing light on the breakout board.
My computer have mach 3 but it’s a win10.
Can you help me?
Thanks
You might have to glue the SMC5-5-N-N back together again after the chainsaw incident! 😊
I get a red led flashing. All wired like you show.
May I know how did you configure 'motor output' in ports in pins? I am trying to get an output from the board and cannot make my motor turn yet. Thanks in advance.
thank you
You're welcome
Hi. The white socket on the controller board what is for ?
I get a red led flashing on the breakout board.
Hello, thank you for the tutorial, I am exactly about to start this process of writing!
How would you wire 2 motors on the same axis? Connect the same output from the controller board to 2 different drivers then the 2 steppers?
Yes, exactly
Hi. I hope you are still responding to questions. I am very new to CNC routing and am in the process of choosing and ordering parts for my first dyi CNC router. Could you tell me if you must pair a Mach 3 control board with Mach 3 software? As I am just starting out in CNC routing I would prefer to take advantage of the many choices of free soft wear that are available. The Mach 3 board looks much more versatile than the Arduino board that came with the stepper motor kit that I have purchased. FYI…your video’s have helped me decide to “take the plunge” into the CNC world of woodworking. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
I hope he does do some replies as many have added questions.
Anyway I was using a GRBL
But it had limitations
So I opted to a Mach3 cnc 3040 with a 800w vfd machine
For which is plenty for my needs
With a match 3 board and software. You will have to calibrate the stepper motors first
Then get the spindle to operate if your using a spindle with a controller
Then once you get them ok
Then setup you limit switches and soft limits
And for let's see how you get on 👍
Thanks, just finished the building process and about to jump into the wiring. Sticking with the Arduino board. Using a porter cable router (not going through the Arduino) so no rpm control necessary. Fingers crossed
Hi Roger, If the power supply is at 5V (orange wire), should I set the switch on top of my DN542T driver to 5V? (It can be either on 24V or on 5V).
5 volts only, do not use the 24 volt switch on the drivers unless you have a specific set up.
Most of these small mach3 boards all supply 5volts to the drivers pulse and direction pins.
that mach brakout board woul work with grbl ?
can you attach a spindle encoder (optical switch) to the board ? presumably you'd want that for screwcutting?
Yes!
Move to uccnc and a cnc drive controller, works great. I had the same board didn't like it.
Прекрасный фильм. Какой камерой снимали видео?
think you master
Silly question... I have the same rnr board in my 6040. But ive know stepper drivers its just wired straight to the motors... How does it work
How can I move 2 axis at the same time with this usb cnc controller board ? Thanks
Hi Roger I live in the UK, I have a 3018 cnc I've upgraded the board to grbl 1.1
But now steppers are going the wrong way
Ciao. Potresti spiegarmi come vanno collegati gli enable dei driver.
Grazie e complimenti
I don't understand how the homing switches can be wired in parallel. I know it's done but I ended up just wiring all mine to different inputs. Are the switches normally open? When you home each axis, does the axis move, engage the switch and then back off so it can then go to the next switch? I imagine that if the switch stayed engaged then the system wouldn't see any change when it went to the next input.
See this video it will help you

Hey Roger
fellow Aussie here having issues with a build using nema 34s and dm860y with mach3 ethernet anything advice you can give would be appreciated
It will run Y Axis but won't pick up X or Z i think it is an issue with the Mach3 ethernet controller

Thank you very much for this tutorial! But, you don't show the connection of the white and black wire for the homing of the x... 24v? Where does the black and white come from? 15:50...Can you send me a photo of the connection please? Thanks again!!
The white +24V+ and black - DCM wire is from the 24v power supply, the switch is DCM and pin 3.
Hello Roger, thank for the info..hi to your wife we hope she is well..
Hi Fred, thank you, I will, Maria is ok and doing well.
Hello!
On the official website of this board, it is recommended to use a high level control (+5 V).
Can You explain why You used low level control (GND).
I have this board and now I'm trying to figure out how to connect it. Maybe I'm wrong.
Thank You.
You can try, both method right, change wiring +(-) will change dirrection motor.
@@95machine29 Thank You.
Yes, I already understood that both methods are correct. Although it seems to me that the general GND is more correct. This is the more general way. Because for most devices and modules, a common GND is connected to the case and shielding.
How are you getting a 5v signal if there is no ground. I’m a bit confused. I get the led to light when I plug usb in , but no rapid flashing when I try to go in x direction. BTW I now have win7 now.
The 5v is from the computer USB
Please suggest whether this controller can be interface NEMA34 ? WILL it drive the NEMA 34 ? PLeas suggest
Yes it will
Wiring diagram complete
Your Toshiba laptop is the same one I have running windows 7.
hi Roger, i do not know if you still answer questions. in the above vid you did not show how you operated the motor from the keyboard. and how to set up the board with mach3, since mach 3 is really designed for paraller board intetface breakboard. this is a sore point with mach3 and the usb board you are demonstrated. i am lost. can you show a print outs for each menu of set up please. kind regards
Your new USB Mach3 board must have come with a driver and pre set up Mach3 settings, if not I have then avalable on my Patron pages.

I am new in cnc machining. I have Question about that board.
What I don't get is: if that cheap Mach3 board works properly (which costs around 20$) on a CNC router, why should i buy expensive boards wich cost starting from 100$
The answer to your question is. Many moons ago mach 3 boards were very expensive and now with China turning out more than one needs the price just dropped
Thank god as now I can buy more than one and have a spare
On the other side of things there are new developers that make boards but do not get a load manufactured so hence the high price.
Get Acorn CNC 12 From Centroid and you will run your machine in few hours and forget it about the rest of all those cnc controllers, i did it and believe me no more problems.
I have been looking at the Acorn CNC controllers very professional looking systems. I really want to go to a ethernet controller instead of the USB style, I think if you are going to get serious about cnc work, an ethernet connected control board is the way to go.
Sir all hooked up mach3 doesn't recognize r&r dll it's in plugin folder but nothing in config plugin any idea what's wrong
What is aui and acm on the breakout board
This is for a VFD output

I have used that board for years it need 32 bit computer windows 7 or 8.1
What about wiring closed loop stepper motors?
Yep + 4 more wires but the same
firewall problem
am from algeria
Dear Roger
I have the solution for the XHC controller.
but I can't sent to your Email what you have here on RUclips
rogerwebb521@gmail.com
If anyone is having trouble the red controller he is using is not supported by Windows 8 and newer. I have Windows 10 and looking to dual boot when I find an older windows operating system.
If your computer is a 32 or 32/64-bit operating system Mach3 and this card WILL work on win XP, 7, 8, and 10.
If your computer is 64-bit only operating system Mach3 and this card WILL NOT.
Thanks for your answer. I’ll have to check to see what my os is. Also could I have a bad BoB? How would I check?
Unfortunately i also don't have the 32 bit win 10, but downloaded Win 7. Haven't had a chance to test if that solves the problem. I will post when I do.
Ok kind sir. I have followed everything to the T up until the point just before you hit reset in mach3. My light on the board is slow flashing. But I noticed that once you hit reset and you went down to the board it was on steady. Mine is still flashing. Does this tell you that I might have something messed up in mach3. I have all 3 axis enabled.
@@rogerwebb9600 I finally figured it out and got it working on windows 10 64 but. I was missing an rnr.dll file. 😊

Hi, there is a facility on my patron pages for technical help www.patreon.com/user?u=15079773
you said too many negative's on the coil wiring from the motors
Yep I did, good job the + is on the driver ;-))
Good tutorial, I followed everything despite it working well , but the steppers get noisy while not moving ,I use tb6600 with nema 23( 2A), any idea how to solve this issue
Reduce the hold amps to 1A
@rogerwebb9600 from where I can reduce the hold ampere from mach3 ? cuz this drive "tb6600" doesn't have a switch for current reduction
