Re: New M201 won't work


Spoke too soon ... :evil: :evil:

Now that the X and Z Axis problems are fixed, guess what the new problem is

YEP …… The Y Axis has decided it wants to join in the "Not working" club

Now it is struggling under load

I ...

Re: New M201 won't work

Well it has took a lot of trial and error

But I have finally got the Z Axis problem solved …. I THINK

It turns out it was a simple solution

The Z-Axis End-stop was mis-wired.
As the switch was released it stopped the motor on the drive side

C: More seriously a problem with ...
