Fix to easy stepper driver, for A-axis

Post by drjaynes »

I finally fixed the problem with the a-axis.
I am using the easy stepper driver that came with the kit.
I found the motor started working when I grabbed the
solder connection between pins 16 and gnd, on the control
cable to the easy stepper card.

I measure the impedance of my fingers, ~ 1Meg
and soldered a 1 Meg Ohm resistor between wires
connected to pins 16 and ground. (shunt resistor)

Now a-axis is working like a charm!
Possibly this is damping out noise to
easy stepper driver card?
