X & Y Move togther

Mostly Printed CNC - MPCNC Troubleshooting

in repetier when I do manual moves both X & Y move together
they cant be wired together YL & YR are wired together in same wire race XL & XR are in another race
I think I included pictures of my wiring.

What firmware are you using? Is it the on pre-loaded by vicious1?

If not, confirm your pins.h (pins_RAMPS14_EFB.h or w/e your using), make sure they are not on the same pin…

The alternative is that you may have a defective RAMPS/Arduino (or both), or theres a speck of solder/metal on one of them.

You could build a simple sketch to confirm:

#define Y_STEP_PIN         60
#define X_STEP_PIN         54

void setup() {
  pinMode(54, Y_STEP_PIN);
  pinMode(60, X_STEP_PIN);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(Y_STEP_PIN,1);
  digitalWrite(X_STEP_PIN,0);
  delay(500);
  digitalWrite(Y_STEP_PIN,0);
  digitalWrite(X_STEP_PIN,1);
  delay(500);
}

remove the stepper drivers, and connect a LED from the STEP pin to ground; that sketch should alternate the LED between both pins, and both should not be on at the same time. If they are, you have a short.

I have firmware B16_32-LCD-112515.ino one question what is this? the code appears to be using same pins for X & Y in this firmware?

#define DUAL_X_AXIS 0
#define FEATURE_TWO_XSTEPPER 0
#define X2_STEP_PIN ORIG_E1_STEP_PIN
#define X2_DIR_PIN ORIG_E1_DIR_PIN
#define X2_ENABLE_PIN ORIG_E1_ENABLE_PIN
#define FEATURE_TWO_YSTEPPER 0
#define Y2_STEP_PIN ORIG_E1_STEP_PIN
#define Y2_DIR_PIN ORIG_E1_DIR_PIN
#define Y2_ENABLE_PIN ORIG_E1_ENABLE_PIN
#define FEATURE_TWO_ZSTEPPER 0
#define Z2_STEP_PIN ORIG_E1_STEP_PIN
#define Z2_DIR_PIN ORIG_E1_DIR_PIN
#define Z2_ENABLE_PIN ORIG_E1_ENABLE_PIN
#define FEATURE_THREE_ZSTEPPER 0
#define Z3_STEP_PIN ORIG_E2_STEP_PIN
#define Z3_DIR_PIN ORIG_E2_DIR_PIN
#define Z3_ENABLE_PIN ORIG_E2_ENABLE_PIN
#define FEATURE_DITTO_PRINTING 0
#define USE_ADVANCE 0
#define ENABLE_QUADRATIC_ADVANCE 0

Did you flash the whole arduino firmware, A common mistake lately is just flashing the .ino? When you flash all the tabs should be open across the top of the arduino window. I can’t see anything wrong in the pictures because they are really small. I see some end stops though, do not connect them until you have it working without them first.

There is nothing wrong with the firmware it has been around 8 months or so.

just received new board combo I can communicate with anduino software but not with repetier and my computer does not have a option for 250000 coms so I set for 115200, does new board have a sketch loaded?

6

Yup loaded but it is set at 250000 in the firmware.
Are you on a Mac?

7

windows 10 surface pro4

8

That Should be the default setting in repetier not windows. Does your repetier show that option?

9

yes still same error I would send a SS but surface?!@#! thanks MS “a device connected to system is not functioning”

Just re flash the firmware after you change the baud rate. It’s not a big deal mac’s use the slower speed.
