Hi,
Power Supply: 350W Single 24VDC Output Switching P/S.
Driver: Microstep Motor Driver Series CW230. Set (1/16) Microstep // 1.5Amps
Motor: Nema 23 4 Wire Stepper.
There doesn't seem to be any consistence with what its doing. When your in the motor tuning screen (mach 3), x-axis selected, (steps per revolution: 2000, Step Pulse: 1us, Direction Pulse 0, regardless of what velocity and acceleration quantities, the motor some times makes the grinding noise while other times its just locked itself stiff (can't move the shaft). In fact when I turn the power on to the motors I hear the motor 'locking' itself.
I just swapped the x-axis motor around with another exact some type and the same thing happens.
Y-axis and Z-axis are also not working
The motors aren't attached to the screws btw so binding can't be the issue.
So its not the motor or the wiring (double checked) I'm thinking its something to do with breakout board or the settings in mach 3. The chances of all three drivers/motors are not working is stupid. Something to do with the BOB or software settings.
I will get the xml. file to you when I figure out how to do that!
