STAC6-QE and HT23-594: New user and can't get anything to work

[mdowns53]

I'm brand new to this.

I'm trying to command from a Raspberry PI with a USB to RS232 connection to the STAC6-QE.

I used the ST Configurator to set it up.

Commands like AC2 and JA2 cause the stepper to turn slightly and then stop (I wouldn't suspect that they should affect the stepper directly at all.

VE2.5 does nothing.  It is a buffered command.  If I only issue this VE2.5, should it execute without me supplying another command to actually start it?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Are you using any NI hardware? Are you using LabVIEW? The issues here most likely trace back to the drive and the commands/configuration it requires.
