    Hey there,

    I think I have changed by mistake the gnd potential of Blackbox somehow. Symptomes: Fan dosen´t rotate and i measure only ~10 V at Motor Pins and Tool-Pins. Flashing with frimeware still works. Is there anything I can do or change fuse or something or do i just have fried the electornic?

    Kind regards for your response

    Toolhead and Motor pins will NOT have 24v present on them! The Toolhead pins have a 0-10v output, and 5v PWM pins. motor outputs are the output of chopper style stepper drivers, not DC. Fans can stop spinning after some time (dust in the bearings, etc)
    Not finding 24v on those pins would not indicate a problem per-se rather a mistaken measurement strategy?

    So what's the root problem you were chasing down?
