Hello.
I have a 3 axis machine with 3 SM2320SQ motors.

Where can I get the manual for the motors ?
Can I upgrade the firmware (now is 4.12) ?
I tried to use the motors with the SMNC prog and got en error "Host mode is not supported" can you please help ?

Thanks
Meir Mark.

The manuals for the older motors are located at http://www.animatics.com/legacy-downloads.html?task=view ...but your particular firmware precedes these manuals.

The 4.12 firmware cannot be upgraded to work with SMNC. You will need newer motors for that.

Thanks

Issue the command MS ....and the motor will be ready to receive Step and Direction signals on PortA(Step) and PortB(Direction).

If the motor is in STEP mode, both LED's on the motor should be solid green.
I don't have reference for the version 4.12 firmware, but you may have to issue a "G" command.
