Thanks!

I tried to find my motor current but couldn't figure it out.  Is that Mach3 function or in the breakout box?

I did make a five minute engraving run and the motors were barely warm so the hot temperature may have been sitting idling and I'd like to reduce the amperage.

Greetings!  I'm new here and eager to learn.  I have a router I bought ten years ago, never mastered g-code, gave it to my grandson, then retrieved it recently.  I'm doing Fusion360 for a 3D printer and think I can generate g-code for the router.

My router has kl23h276-30-8b motors and I'm getting it to run well, I think.  However when doing a lot of stepping the motors get hot, about 175F 80C.  Is that normal?

Also, when the router stops the motors sometimes are still making a noise, pretty low, but I have to turn the breakout board off to get them to stop, or step them manually to a different location.  Do I have a configuration problem?

Thanks in advance for any help.
