Hello all! Just finished assembling my lead 1515 and fired it up. I have 2 issues that I'm hoping someone may have the answer to or possibly point me in the right direction to getting an answer. 1st, before hooking it up to a computer I tested the touch controller. Both x and y work fine but on my z axis I can only jog down and not up. The numbers on the screen will change like it's moving but nothing happens. When I the press z- button the motor makes a single click sound but does not rotate. Z+ moves no issues. I then hooked it to a computer and opened the openbuilds control software. The z has the same issue but additionally when I jog the y only the right side will move and the left stays put. It works fine on the touch controller but not through the software. I must add that this is my first adventure into cnc so I have a lot to learn. I apologize if it is something obvious! Thanks for any help! Here's a pic of my set up
I have no experience with the Interface, but absolutely the first thing to check is the wiring. Your Z issue particularly sounds like a bad connection on one wire. It could also be an issue with the Z homing switch - if there's a problem there the controller may think it's already at the Z home position and there's no more "up" to move to. Alex.
got my 1515 lead last year. Today, one of y-axis motor stops and goes without any particular pattern. I stuck as I cannot waste any more material. Please help with trouble shooting. thank you. Richard
