Stepper Motors

Post by Ziggey »

So I switched to an Azteeg X3 Pro I have my motors hooked up and everything. My motors seem to be moving in random directions. I do the M119 code and my endstops all work correctly. Anyone know why they would move like this?

The motors could have wires that are not connected correctly.
You can also control the rotation of the motors in your configuration.h file.
// Inverting axis direction
#define INVERT_X_DIR true
#define INVERT_Y_DIR true
#define INVERT_Z_DIR true

So to make things way more interesting. I hooked up different motors to make sure they were spinning properly. Turns out all of my motors move when I hit the x, y, or z buttons on matter control. I have it so none of my wires are crossed or looped together, so no current could be induced in the other wires... Not sure if it is worth mentioning but if I hit the button ten times, on the first time it turns normally. But on the tenth time it doesn't move at all...

Well if anyone has any suggestions let me know.
Thank you very much,

They are supposed to move together. The motors collaborate to make the nozzle move in the x y z directions.
