        <title>RAMPS overheats FAST!!</title>
        <description> I just got my RAMPS with pololu drivers, the y-axis overheats in seconds, Like count 1, 2 , OVERHEATED . The x-axis will run for considerably longer and have yet to try the z-axis (not home now ) . Is that normal? I am definetly adding a heat sink but it seems like it will not be effective enough. Is there something wrong with my Ramps? I have swapped the pololu&#039;s around and whichever driver is in the y-axis overheats, so it&#039;s not the drivers (I could be wrong)</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ sounds like you have a short in your motor wiring, or your motor is shorted internally. have you tried putting the x axis motor in the y axis plug. it could be a random solder blob on the board itself.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Yes I have adjusted them, any lower and the motor won't move, the motor has no belts on it right now. It doesn't matter which driver I put in the y-axis, they overheat. If I take a recentley overheated one and put it on the x-axis it runs fine.]]></description>
