Hi, just a quick update...got replacement board and it is doing exactly the same as the original one...

when i send a command to z axis the other two motors vibrate but z does nothing....

anyway put tester on motor output wires and got the following readings, hopefully it will help one of you guys to tell me whats wrong and how to fix it...

on the working motors i get:
red-yell = 3v
red-green = 3v
red-blue = 4v

on the z axis that wont work i get:
red-yell = 0v
red-green = 5v
red-blue = 4v

Any help is much appreciated

cheers

Thanks for that tweekie, may be i can....

I have emailed the supplier and they have said they will send a replacement at no cost, so hopefully that will be okay.

One more question i have is if i wanted to run two motors from one axis, how do i do that, is it just a case of wiring two motors to the same axis? or is there a better way?

cheers
