    grblshield v3 (green board)

    I’ve had my ShapeOko for years now and have ran lots of jobs successfully.
    Last night I tried to run another job and my X-axis started doing this shuttering back and forth like it was trying to move but couldn’t.

    I did as others have said and switched the X/Y axis and tested direct movement.
    The shuttering happens to whatever motor is attached to the GShield X-axis.
    I tried adjusting the pot to see if that would help and no matter which way I turned it I would get the same shuttering.

    I’m guessing that after years of use that it has finally bit the bullet.

    Am I correct in my thinking or is there something else that I can test before having to order a new one?

    I’m not sure what version of GShield you are using. It sounds to me like one of your settings for “step/mm” is wrong for your “x” axis.
    This is an example of what settings it might be.

    $0=43.740 (x, step/mm)
    $1=43.740 (y, step/mm)
    $2=640.000 (z, step/mm)

    @tmartens
    I just plugged my GRBL v3 in tonight and my blue power light was blinking on and off fairly fast as well.
    After trouble shooting for a minute I realized that my 24V power supply was cycling on/off and only putting out 3V. Luckily I found another power supply around the house that is about the same and I’m back up and running.
    I know this is a few months late… but it wasn’t until tonight that I started having this problem and looked for a solution.
    Good Luck!
