First Start Up?
Re: First Start Up?
That's OK. It should be easy, just do it from the gshield, remove the wires from the terminal block and test for continuity there.
Each half of the terminal makes one coil. Test Black and Green, Red and Blue).

Re: First Start Up?
The X axis sounds like loose wiring.
The slow movements might be due to grbl configuration (steps / mm ) check the assembly guide to set the right values.
Not sure about adjusting currents yet, except to confirm the trim pot is at most 1/2.

Re: First Start Up?
I soldered every connection and covered it with heat shrink.....The fault has to either be in the wire supplied with the kit or in the motor itself......Either way I will pull it back apart tomorrow and find the problem.....
Thank you very much for your help......

Re: First Start Up?
Ok , I completely rewired the machine tonight and got everything sorted out except the delrin nut on the Z axis is extremely tight.....I did the drill thing already and it still will not turn it...But i have X and Y working great....

Re: First Start Up?
The z axis lead screw rod uncoupled from the stepper motor should be turnable by hand. If it doesn't turn, you have a mechanical assembly problem.
A typical cause is an off center rod in the flange bearing.
