Help with Steppers
February 10, 2013 02:24PM
Hi. I have been trying to get any type of movment out of my Steppers on my Prusa Mendel i2, but I have been unsuccessful. I am using a Sanguinololu 1.3a running the latest Splinter firmware.

My Steppers are wired as follows:
A+ to 1A
A- to 1B
B+ to 2A
B- to 2B
And I am using 4x StepStick A4988 drivers. I have adjusted the Potentiometer on the drivers to have about a 1.5V rating. The steppers I am using can run at 12V to 36V.


I can controler the temptures of the bed and the extruder, so I can talk to the board, but I can't get the steppers to move. Does anyone have any ideas on what could the issue be and the subsequent fix?

Thanks

EDIT: Voltage is 1.5V not .5V
