  • in reply to: Z axis problem #11008

    I have mine working now. I had to go thru all the settings in Chillipepper and create a custom startup script to setup x,y,z mappings and motor settings. for example, my motor 3 was mapped to A axis, not z.

    I may have the same problem. I sent this email to customer support and am waiting for a reply. Have you had any luck ?

    Good Morning,
    I hooked up the gShield to the Arduino Due and followed the setup information from this site:
    https://github.com/synthetos/grblShield/wiki/Using-grblShield

    I have 3 motors and all work on the X and Y controller ports and none work on the Z port. When I enter a command in Chillipeper like G0X1000 the motor turns for almost a second and stops for X and Y, but when I enter G0Z1000 the controller runs endlessly. I start the Z Motor Current pot all the way counter clockwise and slowly turn it clockwise and hear the fan on the power supply increase indicating its drawing more current. I have verified (several times) that the input from the power supply to the gShield is 24.0Volts etc.

    Please advise how to determine if the Z port is bad on this board.

    thank you,
    Bryan Holocker
