Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with my Workbee. As I fixed grub screw issues, and noticing that some wires had gotten loose from their connectors, I fixed all of them correctly and inserted them back in the Blackbox. As I'm trying to move the gantry along the Y axis, I get a disturbing shaking from it as I do. When I unhook one of the 2 stepper motors leaving one alive, it moves without a hitch (one stepper does the work, obviously). I checked to see if I have continuity with the wires which I do. Can someone tell me if I should jump out the window? Have a look and listen to the video I added. Thanks.
Wiring issue: docs:blackbox:faq-identify-motor-coils [OpenBuilds Documentation] Check for shorts, verify that the wires are seating in the connectors correctly (crimped on bare wire, not insulation) and make sure your wire pairs are correct.
I thought this was the issue so I checked for continuity and everything is fine. I will check again....
Continuity isnt the only thing to check though. I've had this happen once and it was two wires sticking out to far and arcing. That scenario passes a continuity check.
Well, it was a wiring issue even if things seemed ok for the continuity test and even if it looked that the connection was not on the plastic of the wire. I undid the wire to the connector, cut and stripped the 4 wires and set them back in the connector and.... Well, it.... Works.... Thanks for the guidance and help.
