Hi, I'm working on a robotic arm and just hooked up my elektronics. All the steppers move just fine, but when I touch the motors they crank up the speed. What could be the cause of this? I've heard of driver IC's being sensetive to static but I can't understand why the motors would react like this when touching the motor casing! Hope you guys have some explanation for this.by snorrus - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
It seems that marlin has the option of enabling bluetooth but repetier has not? Would it be difficult to implement this into repetier?by snorrus - General
I've come to solution to the problem, but I don't know exactly why! I unplugged everything and checked the soldiering on the board which seemed good. I then put it all back together and uploaded fresh repetier firmware from the web and now it all works again! My guess is that I fiddled with something in the firmware which caused the problem. The motor axis moved freely when power was off, but aby snorrus - General
Yes, I've tried all of the drivers and motors in every combination on the X slot and nothing happens. Any troubleshooting I can do on the RAMPS board itself?by snorrus - General
I'm using a 12V supply with up to 30A. The printer worked fine earlier today but when I was in the process of calibrating it I pressed the home button and the whole system went haywire. The carriages went down against the heatbed instead of up and the motors skipped quite a bit of steps before I managed to pull the plug. I just checked the axis again and now it seems that none of the motors workby snorrus - General
Hello, I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I'm building a delta printer and the x-axis won't work when I hook up all of the steppers on the board. I've tried swapping the stepper drivers and motors around and tested all of them one by one on each port on the board, and they work just fine. Even if I connect X and Y or X and Z to the board both the axis move perfectly but when I hby snorrus - General
