Hi All, I've recently finished building my CNC machine, and have the BlackBox X32 controller. For some reason, I cannot get the motors to respond to movements using the Openbuild CONTROL app, however, when trying to move them, it seems like there is an attempt to move them, but no warning lights appear. Just to provide further information, I have:- Checked the wiring via a multi-meter (here) All the Limit switches were configured to avoid the "triggered" status Firmware is as "stock", bar the limit switch and probe "inverted" values The motors I have are:- NEMA 23 High Torque Stepper Motor This High Torque NEMA23 stepper motor with a holding torque of 2.45N.m (346oz.in) Step Angle:1.8° Rated current:3.0A DC Rated Voltage: 3.6V Winding dc resistance (25℃): 1.2Ω±10% Winding inductance: 4mH±20% Holding torque:≥2.45N.m Shaft diameter: 6.35mm or 1/4″ Is it potentially just a case of ramping up the power to these motors using the current adjustment switches (here) or could there be some other potential issues? I'm new to this, and though this is likely a "simple" fix... I don't want to play with settings or adjustments that I don't fully understand, and blow an expensive bit of kit! Any help or support would be extremely gratefully received Thanks, Andy
