Hi to all
Can turning stepper motors by hand when power is swictched off destroy the electrics.
I did a short cut turning the stepper handles.with the power off,,, a few monrths later went to use it again under power to find it would not work,,,I noticed that the LED on the driver board lit up when I turned the steppers,, could this have blown the driver board up..The steppers used to buzz when on, now buz then go silent..
In my haste to get the machine working again I purchased a repalcment 3 axis driver, but cant help wondering if I should not turn them by hand,, but have seen loads on the net with handles.
