I have the 4 axis xylotex plug and play set up. Anyone know the hook up procedures? No manual or diagram. The wires coming out of the drive box are colored, but the steppers are not.
Any help?

Xylotex hook up help?
- Thread starter J&D CUSTOMS
- Start date
Call them and ask what color is what axis. I would guess they are all the same... Xylotex that is. Mine x is red z is green y is yellow and blue is a or 4th. Just make sure you have the plugs in good before you fire it up otherwise you will make expensive smoke. If you want the x and y flipped just switch the plugs but turn off first.

Jim,
Like Rocket said just do not unplug while powers going to the controller. I do not see why you could not do a simple process of elimination if you do not want to call them
power the controller off hook up to 1 stepper at a time
use
UP Down
Left Right
Page Up Page Down
hit tab in Mach3 a WINDOW WILL POP up to allow 4th axis movement.
Honestly when powering up the first time I would hook 1 stepper up at a time any way to ensure everythings functions properly.
If you hook 1 lead up and its the Z Axis and your controlling with your y axis keys on keyboard you know its going to be a different cable however cannot stress enough do not get a hurry and swap it around with controller powered up...
