x axis works fine. Had plug the ZY encoder cable into the Z encoder on the Farmduino to get the Y axis to work properly. The ZZ cable (I presume because it doesn’t have a label on that end) is plugged into the Y encoder at the Farmduino.
The Z axis is stuck. It attempts to move down 3 times and stalls. There doesn’t seem to be anything blocking movement. It behaves the same regardless where it is on the Z track when moved manually. Plugging the ZZ encoder into the Z encoder on Farmduino allows it to move again. But measuring length stalls out and the Y axis has the same behavior as Z did previously. The encoder connection at the motor and it feels snug as well.
A few other facts
- Beginner setting up v1.7 for the first time.
- ZZ encoder cable in Y encoder on Farmduino allows the Y axis to move across the entire Y axis.
- ZY encoder cable in Z encoder on Farmduino causes the Z axis to attempt 3 times to move down before halting.
- Using Find Length on Z axis, attempts to move down 3 times before giving up then moves with no issue. I was able to test this by manually moving to about the middle of Z axis before doing Find Length.
- Disable encoder on Z axis allows it to move freely.
- Messing with the exccentric spacers hasn’t changed behavior. But admittedly I can’t figure out if clockwise or couter-clockwise loosens the grip on the 3 wheels. The bolt just gets harder to tighten or freely loose.
Any help troubleshooting is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
