General Mach Discussion / Re: motors stalling
« on: August 21, 2006, 11:27:31 PM »
I love you man. what did it for me was what you said about the motors having one coil energized. I went back to the test program, the one that showed the same voltage on all four terminals and the shaft of the motor could be turned by hand. In the mach 3 program you can't turn it by hand, meaning voltage was applied to one coil and thats why the terminals were showing different voltages. It all makes since now. Then I simply changed the steps/unit to a lower number and the motors spin just fine. The other day I don't think I was hitting the save axis settings, I was just clicking the "ok" button, That why it wasn't working when hood posted that suggestion.
Thanks to everyone but I'm sure I'll be back with another stupid question.
