Motors lock up
May 04, 2014 07:40AM
My machine is a Prusa i3. Computer man found software that would work on my machine. Now I'm trying to set it up using, Pronterface. When the y axis hits the endstop, the motor binds up, or when it moves to the front and hits the frame, it binds up. The same things happens with the the x axis. I move the x say, positive then try to move it the other way, it will just start going back and forth both ways then the motor will bind up. have to cut power to unbind motors.
Also does the wires on the endstops go to the first and second pin, or the first and third pin. Hooked to the first and third pin I have current through the the stop untill I push it closed, then the current stops.
