I just assembled my first cnc build with the black box controller. The Y output stepper is very weak even with the current adjust turned up. that seems to make no difference. So i connected the stepper motor directly to each output port and jogged each. All X,Z, any Y2 have no issues but the Y output seems to have no current output. When checking voltage accross the output pins, it shows 24v but theres just no current flow. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Try the inverse as well, connecting a working X-motor to the Y port? Also refer to docs:blackbox:faq-identify-motor-coils [OpenBuilds Documentation]
I have swit Thank you for your help, so we are clear i am bench testing this. heres a pic of the set up. If i move this exact setup to the other ports theres no issue. But on the Y port it puts out .04 and does nothing. this is while i jog that axis from control.
Does the red exclamation mark LED light up on the front face of the BlackBox, below the current adjustment potentiometer for the Y axis?
Last check, just check around the connector / driver section of the muscle board for any soldering issues? If it all looks good, [email protected] will be able to assist going forward
I received new board in the mail and got it installed. Everything works great now. Thank you Peter for the help and for standing by the product.
