Single axis broken?

Single axis broken?
January 30, 2015 03:03PM
Has anyone ever had a single axis break on their RAMPS 1.4 board? My Y axis spot for the driver seems to have broken. I can put a working driver in the Y axis driver spot and nothing happens. Then I can take that same driver out and move it to the X axis spot and it works fine. This is using the same motor also. And all of the driver switching is happening without the power on.

Help!

Yes. It is likely that you have a failed component or trace in the Y-axis location. It may even be a problem with the arduino pins associated with the Y-axis driver socket...

In a pinch, you can remap the pins in Marlin to use the E1 (second extruder) driver socket and plug.

Are the configs right? Look at this lines:
#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT   {80,80,4000,473}  // Ano default steps per unit for Ultimaker {78.7402,78.7402,200.0*8/3,760*1.1}
#define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE          {500, 500, 1, 25}    // Ano (mm/sec) {500, 500, 5, 25} // Statt 5 2 oder 1
I had the same problem, but after editing the config it worked.

I solved it guys but thanks for replies anyway. It seems that my RAMPS shield was not firmly press into the Arduino board. So I guess there was a lack of connection on a few pins but the rest of the board was working. Everything is back to normal now.
