Brilliant news about getting a replacement controller.

I doubt that this controller can handle the current necessary to satisfactorily run two motors wired in parallel. But it all depends on the torque required to drive the axis, maybe 1.25 Amps per motor will provide enough torque, maybe not. You would have to try it and see I suppose.

but is that how it is done though? just simply wire the two motors into the same axis?

Stephen, usually you would have 2 drives, 2 motors and slave the two together.

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
