I just finished the build of my dual endstop mpcnc and tried to get it working. I began by plugging in all the steppers and it work however only the x1 and y1 steppers were activated. So i downloaded the latest MPCNC_Archim1_T8_16T_LCD_DualEndstop files from github and uploaded them on to my archim v1. However when i restarted the mpcnc and tried to move each axis the steppers would lock-up and a pitched noise would arise.
I tried to upload another firmware with 16 steps instead but the same issue appeared. I would appreciate, any help.
You are using unknown (to me) steppers, you need to verify how they are wired by checking for pairs. The pairs on the board are 11AA, your stepper plugs could be anything.
I have now cheaced the pairs and i now sure that i wired them correctly. Im am now try to change the steps from 32 to 16 but im not quite sure if i have done this correctly. The changes that i have done to the firmware is the following:
I have been trying different combinations of the stepper wires. I found the pairs and connected them according to the picture, where black and green is one pair and blue and red is the other pair.
Next i tried to se if all the endstops where correct and i have connected them so that when i run the M119 command they all so open, but when i push them down they show triggered.
I have only connected the four stepper for the X and Y axis do i need to connect the Z axis aswell and do i need a fith endstop for the axis?
Im still having issues with the steppers locking once i try to move them.
Have i connected them wrong or could the issue lay within the firmware?
