y and z axis not working
Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2018 12:37 am
I recently received a new GT2560 A+ board to replace a faulty old one. The old one did not power the fans.
This new board powers the fans, but now only the X axis works (both directions)
To test the motors, I switched the X and Y axis motor cables and now the Y-axis moves forward but not backwards. When I try home this axis, it moves forward 5-10mm but never back.
I'm thinking the problem could be something with the end stops but the end stops worked fine with the previous board so I feel confident they are not faulty hardware. Nothing else has changed except the control board.
I have installed the Pro W 2560 firmware (there was not a 2560 "A+" option just the 2560). Could this be firmware related?
Any help is appreciated.
