    Hey all,

    I ran into an issue with my 1515 lead cnc machine...

    I finished the setup and powered my machine, but soon found out only one Y axis motor (Nema 23) was working...

    I then turned off the machine, and turned it back on again, and everything worked perfectly.

    Everytime I turn on my machine, one of the two Y motors (its not alway the same side, but it seems to have a preference for Y2) won't turn on (there is also the (!) sign on the BlackBox X32 controller)... I then have to turn the machine off and back on again for both motors to work...
    it does this everytime I power it.

    These are the solutions I tried to solve this problem, but nothing seems to have helped :
    • Rewire all motors with better, more secure connections
    • Resetting the blackbox x32 controller
    • Resetting the blackbox x32 controller's remote
    • Adjust the power potentiometer to all have equal voltage
    • updated the grbl profile through openbuild's software
    • threw my allen keys over my left shoulder
    Has anybody encountered the same issue ?
    What can I do to solve this problem ?

    Thanks a lot !

    T.
