Hi All, Noob here, this is my 1st post and my 1st build. Having trouble with my lead 1010. The machine is fully assembled and was functioning correctly. I was going thru the spoilboard surfacing wizard and started having trouble with my Z axis. The Z axis stepper motor rotational direction started changing. I aborted the surfacing and tried to jog the Z, if you jog one time the direction is correct then the next time it will be in the opposite direction. This is the case for both Z+ and Z-. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
The issue with the motor indicates issues with your wiring. See first bullet point in the motor troubleshooting doc: docs:blackbox:faq-identify-motor-coils [OpenBuilds Documentation] Look for loose wires, shorts at the connectors or even connectors screwed to insulation instead of the bare ends.
Solved, I ran a new 4 conductor wire from the Z motor output on the blackbox control to the Z motor and that corrected the problem. Thanks for your help
