no motion from Z axis

Postby Travis » Tue May 17, 2016 11:49 pm

Hello,

I just setup my machine and am to the section where you home the machine for the first time '$h'

I am connected on COM 3 and can get a response from the arduino (appears to be a grbl shield for motion control?) Anyway I am passing the 2 $h and seeing the warning but am not getting motion. grbl settings all reply over com $ works and all that jazz, it gives me the grbl menu just no actual motion control.

re-read the instructions a few times and then started trying to trouble shoot.

Power adapter is plugged in (green light is on the power supply but I havent tested the voltage output), serial over usb is working and creation workshop is connected (also verified serial coms with coolterm and the arduino ide).

helpz. :?

just vetted the power supply. a solid 12.25 volts.

resetting the device power and ? shows the shield is in alarm mode. $X to reset and then $h still yields no result. currently idle with no motion.

Hi Travis,

Email me directly at info@junction3d.com

I can connect to your pc remotely tomorrow morning and help diagnose the issue. I'm sure it's something simple, because we test these machines extensively before shipping them.
