In file "configuration.h" of firmware, you can find:

Code: Select all

#define X_MAX_POS 210
#define X_MIN_POS 0
#define Y_MAX_POS 210
#define Y_MIN_POS 0
#define Z_MAX_POS 180
#define Z_MIN_POS 0
Check if the value of first line is 100.

Im pretty sure its not within in the software because on the manual control screen at the point it stops it says X=200 Y=200 Z=180

Or am I just assuming the X axis needs to go all the way to the end? and it does not have to?

Yes, you are right.
How about controlling the x motor with LCD screen?
Before moving the motor, let all the axes auto home.

oh. I did not include the LCD in my package.

Could it be the belts or the voltages?
My voltages are at .055

But anything higher just makes it noisy with no movement

What is the type of motor driver? Could you please take a photo, and let me check if it is plugged correctly.

DRV8825

The motor drivers were already installed so I doubt that is the issue.

Here is a picture

The driver are plugged corretly.
Please let me check the status of switches under x driver. It should be 1/16.

All the DRV drivers are on high, because this is what the build instruction said I followed it for the C model because it included info for the GT2560, but maybe it was A4988 driver..

So all of the drivers should be at 1/16?

and When would I need to use 1/32? :idea:
