    Hi Carl

    Here are my motor 2 & 3 settings

    2ma] m2 map to axis 1 [0=X,1=Y,2=Z…]

    is that with or without the motor connected to the board
    With the motors connected

    nema 23
    motor 1 pin 1&2 = 1.4ohm
    motor 1 pin 3&4 = 1.4ohm

    nema 23
    motor 2 pin 1&2 = 1.5ohm
    motor 2 pin 3&4 = 1.4ohm

    nema 23
    motor 3 pin 1&2 = 1.4ohm
    motor 3 pin 3&4 = 1.4ohm

    nema 17
    motor 4 pin 1&2 = 2.2ohm
    motor 4 pin 3&4 = 2.2ohm

    So that looks normal

    if there is a miss wired limit switch could that cause this? or would that just keep the card disabled

    No that’s not the problem disconnected the limit switches problem still there

    Hi Carl that is the process I did follow when swapping the motor drive wires at the tinyg the fault stayed with the drive on the tinyg. This ruled out a faulty motor as both the motors on the y axes worked when connected to the motor 2 drive on the tinyg board but not when connected to the motor 3 driver connection

    Hi Carl If motor 3 is disabled and Motor 2 enable Y will move. If only motor 3 is enabled Y does not move. When trying to move Y using only Motor 3 the lights on the tinyg light up and the motor is energized and you hear a click sound from the motor but that is all it will not move nor can it be moved by hand.

    ho hum just when I thought I was getting somewhere I am back to square 1.

    Having got my spindle connected and working now my y axes motor 3 has hit the brakes.

    when instructing tinyg to move using Coolterm the Y axis will not move if both motor 2 and 3 are powered. If Motor 3 is disable then y moves. I have swapped the motor wires to the to board round but the problem stayed to the motor connected to motor 3 on the board.
    I did a reset to factory default again as that got me out of trouble last time but alas this time it did not.

    Please advise if possible would re flashing the firmware help at all or is my card a brick

    @ Carl CP and Coolterm running on win7 64 enterprise mostly use coolterm when configuring tinyg. yes $defa=1 sorted it once I reconfig the basic settings.

    Thanks for the help it has encouraged me to carry on with tinyg

    Carried out your suggestions but could not get anything conclusive. I ran a factory rest on the tinyg and started re-configuring from scratch. No I am getting what I am expecting.

    Carl thank you for your patients and time. Now I just need to get familiar and comfortable with ting g-code. Long haul learning curve. So any advice on how to do that quickly would be good.

    All is now working as it should.

    One question though the hello world code in CP appears to have its center at the origin. is it possible to move it in the 3d view or do you have to edit the gcode start to do that?

    ok here we go again followed your suggestions Carl, disable the home switches, Set $ntr=60 on all three motors for the x and y axis and set $4tr=2

    At this point I am just checking $1tr to move 10mm in the x direction.
    entered g21 g91
    entere g1 x10 and the machine moved 120mm or 12cm

    I then changed $1tr to 6
    Confirmed that $1tr was indeed 6 Even reset the tinyg and checked it again to confirm.
    went through the process again starting with g21 g91
    then g1 x10
    the x axis moved 100mm
    See attached

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/wfpjskm79oie9su/IMG_0922.MOV?dl=0

    And here is the corker the y axis which is set to $2 – 3tr=60 is almost spot on
    both are nema 23 motors with a 3mm belt and 20 tooth cog

    Not sure where to go to now nor what I am doing wrong

    Here is a very strange occurrence working on the x axis alone using an electronic vernier I have changed $1tr= from 5 to 100 and the distance moved for G0 X20 remains 45mm no matter what $1tr is changed to.

    This is using coolterm to send the gcodes to the tinyg

    when the settings are changed is it required to reset the board or will the setting changes be accepted on the fly

    Thanks Carl not sure what you mean by chilipeppr logo gcode.
    Also can you tell me why I am having communication problems with chilipeppr I have tried a solution you suggested in a post I have read elsewhere ” Disconnect CP from tinyG using the ‘disconnect’ icon in the SPJS widget (the Reconnect black pop-up will appear), then reload CP/tinyG using the browser refresh icon on the browser menu bar, then reconnect to your tinyG by selecting the Reconnect”
    Here is a screenshot of what I am getting on CP please note the yellow check marks

    This is my current settings I have plugged in to Tiny G.

    The calculations for my x and y stepper I get from http://prusaprinters.org/calculator/

    On the oxbuild store the gt3 belt I got reviles that I have a 3mm tooth to tooth pitch.

    Although being in the IT industry not on the programming side I am really having a hard time getting chilipeppr and tinyg working reliably. I have not yet got to the point where I am trying to get the correct measurements. I am still having issues with loading a gcode file and running it.
    Sometimes the code will run and at other times not with no identification as to what is causing it.

    I dont have issues communication with tinyg using coolterm. All my problems are with chilipeppr.

    I use scetchup and scetchucam to generate the gcode.

    This is a very steep learning curve and although I thought I was up to it I am not so sure now. If there was more feedback as to what chilipeppr was doing and if there is a problem at least then I could try and solve it.

    I have also had issue with the configure widget it does not appear to save the changes to the tinyg nor will it copy the settings to the other drives so not sure if the changes are accepted or not.

    I do appreciate the assistance provide on this forum thanks
