We need clarification on what you mean by threading: a parallel computer process, creating threads on a screw on a turning center, or threading a hole using a tap controlled by a CNC machine. If it's the latter two, you would rely on the stepping motors and dead reckoning (open loop system). Stepping motors will move exactly as instructed and have exact stop and positional accuracy so the threads would be constructed as intended; therefore, no need for encoders and feedback (closed loop system)

What he is asking perhaps is that how would he be able to do rigid tapping without encoder input? Alternatively, he may need a servo drive for the spindle. Which board supports rotary encoder input? I am looking for boards myself.

Planet-CNC breakout board supports encoder inputs. I don't see this feature on your's. How does your board support threding, etc.?

Yes, this is a must. You can attach the spoil board on the machine with screws, or you can setup a clamping system. We just screw it down.

I can't find the diagram to hook up the parallel breakout board

CP+ to COM
CP- to STEP
CP+ to CW+ (small jumper wire)
CW- to DIR

Additional Information:
If the driver does not have CP or CW labels, the CP is Step and the CW is Direction or DIR. If you connect the 5v to CP+ (or Step+) and CW+ (or DIR+) and the pin to CP- (or Step-) and another pin to CW- (or DIR-), then in software, the configuration for the step on that axis must be active low. Otherwise, if you connect the GND to CP- (or Step-) and CW- (or DIR-) and the pin to CP+ (or Step+) and another pin to CW+ (or DIR+), then in software, the configuration for the step on that axis must be active high.

Additional Information:
If you have a driver that is labeled pul, dir and ena: Pul+ is the Step+ and Pul- is the Step-. Pul is short for pulse. A pulse will create a step. Don't worry about the enable terminals.

On the x-axis, pin #2 can go to pul- and pin #3 can go to dir-. The 5v will go to pul+ and dir+. The configuration for each axis for step will be active low and toggle active low for the dir on each axis to make it go in the direction desired.

HOW DO YOU HOOK UP THE VFD TO SPINDLE?

You will need a 24V relay controlled by one of the output terminals of the Mach3 USB controller. You can see a video that demonstrates the use of the output pins for this controller and how a relay is connected to the output terminal and the power supply. It is the video that is titled "Mach3 USB Controller Outputs"

how do I control coolant mist using the mach3usb break out board

Yes, you can use a conductive metal to serve as a zeroing block for the Z axis. All you need to do is connect the block (conductive metal) to one of the 4 inputs on the controller. The end mill must be connected to the DCM terminal (the GND of the 24V power supply) of the controller. In the inputs dialog box (config-ports and pins-inputs). Under the probe line, enter port 3 and the pin used for the block.

[575] Hi can I use a zeroing block with mock three interface board and do you have one I can purchase and directions on how to set up

You will need a 24V relay to control mist using the Mach3 USB breakout board. The wiring diagram (link below) will show one of the output terminals (O1, O2, O3 or O4) connected to one of the leads of the relay. The other lead is connected to the V+ to complete the circuit. The other part of the relay is used as a switch to control the mist on/off.

Getting continuity from the x--/x++ might not mean it is a faulty board, unless they are bridged, so both get a pulse rather than one. But to check if you might have a opposite connection for those input:

In input port section in config. Scroll down and you will see THC On, Up and Down. Enter your input pin numbers there.

You can find instructions for the Mach3 USB here:

You will probably need to use the Mach3 USB board with Mach3. We have not tested the Mach3 usb card with Mach4.

Whereb can I find directions on how to install the Mach3 USB board with Mach 4 software? I do not have a parallell port.

If your computer does not have a parallel port, all you will need is a low cost PCI parallel adapter card (these can be found on amazon for $15-$20). If you plan on using a laptop (not recommended) you can try to find a PCMCIA parallel adapter, but many people have frequent issues with this setup. A more expensive solution would be to purchase a USB smooth stepper board. Unfortunately, we do not supply any of these adapters and cannot attest to their reliability.

HOW TO HOOK UP THE VFD INVERTER WALL OUTLET?

Here is a list of the parts needed to get the electronics combo functioning (parallel or USB interface options):

- 22 or 24 gauge stranded hookup wire to connect all of the drivers to the USB or parallel interface (terminal to terminal connections),
- 18 gauge stranded hookup wire to connect the drivers to the power supply,
- a power cable (extension cord) to connect from the power outlet to the power supply,
- 4 conductor cable to connect the drivers to the stepper motors,
- a USB cable to connect from the computer to the USB interface (or for power to the parallel interface),
- for the parallel interface, a parallel cable is needed (male to male db-25),
- a computer (for parallel interface, the computer will need a parallel port and if the computer does not contain a parallel interface, the motherboard may have a header for it, or you can purchase a parallel adapter to plug into the motherboard, very inexpensive),
- cnc control software: for the USB interface, you will need planet-cnc software, for the parallel interface, you can use any industry standard cnc control software (the typical is Mach3 for Windows, or EMC2 or Linuxcnc for Linux (Linuxcnc.org).

5v power supply is not needed. The 5 volts signal level power is derived from the computer through USB on both types of interfaces.

1) Make sure to setup Primary partition:

Primary
Beginning of this space
Ext4
Mount point: /
and Swap partition:

Logical
Beginning of this space
Swap area using "Something Else"

2) get and install updates and upgrades

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

3) get raid software

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mdadm

4) setup RAID

a) if raids haven't been setup:
sudo mdadm --create /dev/md0 --chunk=256 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb

b) if raids are setup, but just have to be reassembled:
sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda /dev/sdb

or

mdadm --assemble --scan
