    Hello all, just finished building my Lead 1010 machine. I am going through trying to test everything and the Z axis is not responding. The motor appears to have no power going to it. The other axis jog just fine. On the black box the LED for the Z is lit up. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Indicates
    - overcurrent (adjust current down)
    - overtemp (adjust current down, check fan, check heatsinks are installed)
    - short circuit (check wiring)
    - low input voltage (check PSU is delivering 24v)

    I have checked all of those except the voltage from the power supply. I will check that and report back. Thank you.

    Swop in X motor onto Z too just as a check of the wiring etc

    And remember to power cycle the board to clear the error

    I

    I checked the power supply and its showing 24.13. I tried to swap the wires and it did not change. I even unhooked everything and turned it on and the Z light still comes on.

    Alright, thanks for the tests :)
    please email http://support.openbuilds.com/support/home to request an RMA for a replacement Muscle board, please include a link to this thread to help expedite the request (Testing already done above)
