    Yes. The Z channel on the board drives the X axis motor correctly however the X axis channel on the board did not drive the Z motor correctly. It had the same issue. Same command being sent consecutively made it move up and down so I am pretty sure it’s the motor. I have checked and rechecked all the connections and everything is connected well. I will see if I can get it warrantied since it is brand new. Thanks for the troubleshooting tips. Your help is much appreciated.

    Hi Alden,

    Thanks for the quick reply. I got my kit from Shapoko.com and my Grbl shield has the Z axis mod. Below are my settings and what I tried.

    Settings:

    $0 = 43.74
    $1  = 43.74
    $2 = 300
    $3 = 30
    $4 = 500
    $5 = 1000
    $6 = 0.10
    $7 = 28
    $8 = 25
    $9 = 0.05
    I checked the connectors and wiring to make sure everything was connected securely and correctly.

    I swapped the X and Z axis connectors on the Grbl shield and ran some commands after changing $2 to 43 so it didn’t hit the end of the axis and  the motor moved in the correct direction each time.

    I swapped the connectors back and tried changing $3 higher and lower and the Z axis is still having the same issue.

    I also tried changing $2 higher and lower.

     

    Considering that the X axis motor worked fine on the Z axis I am thinking that it may be the Z axis motor. Any thoughts?

     

    Thanks.
