THE + near the z axis printed on the board, is that for referencing cable polarity or is it for the capacitor?

Hey guys I was curious if someone could help me with a wiring diagram for the motor pinouts. For instance for the X axis is it a+a-b+b- ?

Thanks cjgaus

Hi guys I hope I don't get into any trouble posting about other controller boards on here.I purchased a HY-TB3DV-M Chinese controller on ebay and I have setup mach 3 with it, well sort of setup mach 3. I am still having problems homing the machine. I am not running any switches and was curious if so...

I really appreciate the reply, I was looking into not using the switches also. I am so glad that someone other then myself also feels that they are not needed. I however am clueless how to setup the homing with mach 3. If you don't mind me asking, are you using mach 3 to control your board?

Sure no problem. Here is a link to a manual of the board. It is in a pdf format.

Way before i decided to purchase a shapeoko I purchased a cheap HY-TB3DV-M cnc controller board on ebay. I was curious if anyone who owns a shapeoko is using the same controller board and if so how did you set up your limit switches?

Sorry guys for the delayed reply I am in Australia. Everything is going great guns. Ignore my above posts. I was being a lil girl and not putting some brute force into it and not keeping the coupler tight enough. All is attached nice and tight now.

Also is the coupler suppose to grip onto the threaded rod once tightened or no?

I have purchased a batch 4 shapeoko and I am having trouple with my z axis coupler not gripping the threaded rod. Is anyone else having any issues?
