Setting up the myCNC control board
- Connect 24V DC power supply to myCNC control board
- Here are power-up examples for ET6, ET7, ET10 control boards
- Setup Network addresses for Host computer and myCNC Ethernet controller. Addresses of Controller and Host should be in same local network. For Example -
Controller Address: 192.168.0.78 Host Address: 192.168.0.100
or
Controller Address: 192.168.5.10 Host Address: 192.168.5.11
Look here if need to change IP address of controller board
- Goto MyCNC software, Cfg Settings, Network Tab and
- Set actual Controller IP address to “Controller IP Address” to tell the software where it can find myCNC Controller,
- Set “Network Protocol” to “UDP”,
- press “Save” button on the top-right of myCNC screen.
- Check what minimal pulse width your drivers accept and set pulse width of myCNC control board accordingly (equal or more) in MyCNC software → Cfg Settings → Hardware Tab → Common Hardware Settings MyCNC-ET6, myCNC-ET7 controllers support separate pulse width settings for the first 4 channels (#0, #1, #2, #3) and the rest 2 (#4, #5). This option can be convenient if use high performance servo drivers with low psed stepper drivers (for example high speed servos for X, Y, Z axes and low speed stepper for rotational A axis). myCNC-ET10 controller use only the first pulse width selector for all motor outputs.
