#

either the Microcontroller has power but the motors/drivers dont, or one of the drivers has slipped out of the socket (unlikely but still check)

#

also walking on carpet does statically charge you, it is not impossible that you broke something.

vast stream May 10, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

so i reseated all the drivers and still got the same error

#

i also swapped motor x and y cables and still got it

#

where would i check to see if i burned something out i literally only walked 10 feet -_-

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

this only happens with the driver in X and the others work?

vast stream May 10, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

i swapped the drivers around as well

#

still the same error

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

so with both the drivers and the motors swapped individually its always in X?

vast stream May 10, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

yes

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

do you have an empty Stepper driver socket?

vast stream May 10, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

i do but they arent being used they are further to the right of the board

#

would putting a driver in there just for the time being be a good move i have some extra 2209s around

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 4:57 PM

#

try one of those if your stepper cables can reach. steppers and drivers should be fine from the test swaps

#

either move one of your drivers or use a spare

vast stream May 10, 2024, 4:58 PM

#

hm okay ill be back

#

i would need to change what pins are being enabled and such when i move the stepper correct?

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

yes

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

i have a pinout diagram but its a bit confusing for the manta m8pv2

somewhere in this part you need to swap it

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

so i am running canbus and they have it on pc13 for stepper x

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

this is what you have?

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

yeah

#

im using all but the last two driver slots

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

and X is in motor 1 right?

#

(the left most stepper driver socket)

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

I believe its in the second one actually?

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

u sure?

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

it goes B - A - 0 - skip - 1 - 2 - skip little guy - 3

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:05 PM

#

hm. weird.

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:05 PM

#

the mpx kit has been very weird

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

hm. i really dont know then XD

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

radiant oar u sure?

I would have tried the right most driver socket with the config pins in the M8 collum of this.

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

mmaybe thats the problem and my pin got set to something weird?

#

really wishing id bought ldo or something lol

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

vast stream mmaybe thats the problem and my pin got set to something weird?

maybe. try PE3 if the stepper thats causing the error is in the second socket from the left

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

vast stream really wishing id bought ldo or something lol

ye, my LDO kit has been almost flawless. (except some misslabeled set screws that broke my clockwork)

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

okay so stepper y is actually on uart pin pe3

#

what would that make x then

i have no idea. maybe list the 6 steppers you have on the board (A+B+4xZ) and their Pins?

#

can you send that for the X motors as well?

it was working just a minute ago and i moved it literally 15 or 20 feet

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

so the steppers are in order M1 to M6 : X, Y, Z, Z1, Z2, Z3

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

yeah

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

and you are using driver sockets 1 though 6 (left to right)?

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

yeah

#

i have two left on the right open

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

and the first one is connected to either A or B?

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

i think its B but yeah

#

actually yeah they commented in the printer.cfg its B and thats the x motor on the first one

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

then move the Driver and the Stepper wire from M1 to M8 and change the stuff in the X config part to the corresponding pins

#

i assume its something broken on the board, just hoping you have enough stepper ~~drivers~~ Sockets left :p

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

okay so i moved it to 8 and changed the pins

#

nothing

#

still same error =/

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

try one of the spare Drivers

#

(sorry, cat flopping her fat ass over my keyboard)

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

okay give me a few minutes

#

holy hell it was a bad driver

#

we are back up!

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

fuck yes

vast stream May 10, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

right!? what a weird thing to burn out

radiant oar May 10, 2024, 5:40 PM

#

well you probably touched the stepper and that fried the driver bc of the static charge ^^

#

have a nice day and remember to set this to solved 😉
