Got some new pics today, so here goes!
We will start with some control box wiring pictures. Bear in mind that i will go back after i make sure everything works and tidy up the wires, but for now, just connecting everything.
Wiring up the chassis ground.
Working on the 110v circuit.
110v circuit complete with both power supplies, and the auxiliary 110v plug for coolant pump.
These are replacing some items that came in the kit. The ethernet connectors on the right are rubberized panel mount pass through connectors with a pigtail. These replace 3 of the way too long ethernet patchcords that came in the kit. the 4 red ethernet cables will be to connect the drivers, again to replace the way too long cables that came in the kit. the black ethernet cable is for the external e-stop/probe board connector, once again to replace the way too long cable.
the new cables are 1ft long, vs the 3ft cables that came with the kit. These came from MCM Electronics, and were very reasonable on price. the 1ft cables were less than 2 bucks each.
Here are the motor cable connectors soldered up that connect to the drivers. Red is A+ on pin 1, white is A- on pin 2, Black is B+ on pin 3, and green is B- on pin 4. I'm not the best at soldering, but they are done and holding. The wires are 18awg, in SO 18/4 cord form, i replaced the hookup wire in the kit with this, will keep things more neat and tidy.
