Geeetech prusa i3 A Pro (3 in 1Control box)- Z stepper motors query
Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2019 4:47 pm
Can someone tell me if the stepper motors on this particular variant are wired (inside the control box) in series or parallel?
As I understand it, there are advantages to be gained if they are wired in series (more reliable as less prone to missing steps).
Would also like to know the Vref setting for the Z Stepper driver when being used - as it is - for driving two motors from the single A4988 driver. My logic suggests to me that as the A4988 Driver is supplying current to two motors, there should be a difference in the formula used to set the Vref when compared with a driver that only supplies a single motor - as is the case with the X and Y motors.
Any light you may be able to shed on the above topic would be appreciated...
