Hey Guys,
One of the Farmbots in the Lab, the z-axis doesn’t move up nor down and we have changed the leadscrew as well as the coupler but no luck
Any help would be appreciated
Regards,

Hi @DAA Sorry to hear about the motor issues. I am taking a look now.
@DAA A few things:
Hi, this is the farmbot that has the Z-axis issue
1.The device is turned on
2.The motor moves and it seems to get stuck in between sometimes and it makes noise
3.The motors are plugged it properly
Regards
@DAA OK, sorry about that. I was looking at the device that you mentioned in past support requests. In the future, please include your device ID with the request so that I can remotely inspect the device.
I will take a look now.
Sure, I will mention the Device ID the next time. Roger that
Regards,
@DAA Some of your values for settings like steps/mm may have been set too high. I am temporarily reverting them to default values.
Are you using the same stepper motor drivers that came with your device from the factory?
Additionally, did the Z-Axis stop working recently, or is this the initial setup of the device?
Yes, the same ones from the farmbot installation box.
No, it wasn’t working from a very long time since the z-axis leadscrew and coupler was bent.
So we just replaced those and itn’t working even after the swapping them.
OK, I am going to move this conversation to a private message so that I can get more information. I might not be able to solve the problem today (it is a holiday here in the USA and the office is closed).
