I acidentally fried the motor 3 port, I think from the screws not being tight and the wires loosing contact during operation.

Is there a way to repair motor port 3? Theres an electronics technician I know who can repair some boards, if we could have some guidance please?

or

Is there a way to connect a 4 wire stepper motor to one of the ABC rotary axes?

Thank you

You can bypass it and use an external driver, which would be the easiest option if you’re not confident desoldering the ob-board one

This is well-documented in the documentation

You can connect external drivers to every port, so do the same for your 4-wire motor on other port
